Easiest Honey Dijon Salmon
Everywhere I turn, I read that salmon is so good for you and that you should try to eat more of it. That reminded me that I hadn’t made it in awhile and I don’t know why after tasting this incredibly flavorful and tender honey mustard glazed salmon that’s so fast and easy. The recipe is a spinoff of my recipes for Sheet Pan Honey Lemon Salmon and Sheet Pan Orange Chili Salmon. This version incorporates Dijon mustard along with the honey and lemon juice. Simple ingredients that you probably have on hand that deliver scrumptious results. It’s impossible to end up with dry salmon because the salmon bakes in a mixture of butter, honey, Dijon, and lemon juice. It coats every bite of salmon and makes it so wonderfully juicy. There is nothing worse than dry fish (or protein of any kind actually) and you don’t have to worry about that at all here. Whether you need a fast and easy weeknight dinner recipe to a recipe for easy entertaining, this one has you covered and cleanup is as easy as tossing away the foil. Love foil pack recipes.
What’s in Honey Dijon Salmon?
To make this baked honey mustard salmon, you’ll need:
Skin-on salmon fillet Lemon slices Lemon juice Unsalted butter Honey Dijon mustard Kosher salt and pepper Fresh parsley
How to Make Honey Dijon Salmon
To make this easy baked salmon recipe, simply nestle the lemon slices under the salmon. Stir together a mixture of melted butter, Dijon, lemon juice, and honey and pour it over the salmon. Seal up the foil pack and bake. Spoon a little of the reserved butter mixture over the salmon, then broil the top until it’s as golden as you like it.
How Long to Bake Salmon at 375ºF
This honey dijon mustard salmon needs to bake for about 15 minutes at 375ºF, then it needs to broil for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Can I Use This Marinade on Another Type of Fish?
Perhaps, but I’ve only ever made this honey mustard glazed salmon recipe as written. Keep in mind that different kinds of fish will have slightly different flavors and bake times.
Tips for Making Honey Dijon Salmon
I prefer making this honey mustard salmon with Dijon mustard, but you may be able to use another type of mustard if that’s all you have on hand. Experiment with the marinade if needed and have fun with it! If you have time, set aside the salmon to marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes before baking it. When broiling the top of the dijon mustard salmon, keep a close eye on it because all broilers are different and you don’t want it to burn.
