Equipment

Ingredients

2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
4 6-ounce salmon fillets
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400˚F and line a baking dish with parchment paper if desired.
In a small bowl whisk together mustards, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, thyme, paprika and garlic.
Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper and place on the baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce all over the entire surface of each salmon filets.
Bake in the oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the salmon in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated 275°F oven for 10-12 minutes or until warmed through. You can also reheat the salmon in on the stove by adding it to a non-stick pan with a little bit of water. Cover and heat until warmed through.

Tips:

Pat dry the salmon with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the glaze stick to the fish better.
Use similar size filets to ensure even cooking, resulting in a better overall dish.
Don't overcook the salmon as it can become dry and tough. Bake just until they are easily flaked with a fork, or the internal temperature registers 135˚F with an instant-read thermometer.
