Ingredients

Scale

Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

Honey Mustard Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon slices (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Assemble: Place each salmon fillet on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to fold into a packet. Spoon the honey mustard mixture evenly over each fillet. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and seal to create a closed packet.
  4. Bake: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Finish: Carefully open the packets and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • This recipe also works well on the grill.
  • For a full meal, add sliced zucchini, asparagus, or thinly sliced potatoes to the foil packets before sealing.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on thickness of fillets.
