Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 skinless salmon fillets
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
Liquids and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon (approximately 2 tablespoons or 30 milliliters)
Garnish:
- Fresh herbs (parsley or dill)
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) and delicately oil a baking vessel to prevent sticking.
- Craft a vibrant marinade by vigorously blending minced garlic, tangy lemon juice, golden honey, zesty Dijon mustard, and silky olive oil until harmoniously combined.
- Nestle the salmon fillets into the prepared baking dish, lavishly drenching them with the aromatic sauce, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, monitoring until the fish transforms into delicate, easily flakable segments when gently prodded with a fork.
- Elevate the presentation by adorning the succulent salmon with a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs, creating a visually stunning and fragrant finale.
Notes
- Opt for fresh, high-quality salmon with vibrant color and minimal fishy smell for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust baking time based on salmon thickness, checking for doneness when fish easily flakes and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Use raw honey for a richer, more complex sweetness that balances the tangy Dijon and bright lemon juice.
- Gluten-free and dairy-free diners can confidently enjoy this recipe by using certified gluten-free Dijon mustard and pure honey.
