Honey Mustard Salmon

This recipe is one of my weekday dinner secrets that I must share! The sweet and sour combination of honey, mustard, and dill produces an outstanding glaze for fresh salmon. And with only five minutes of prep time, you don’t get any easier than this, at least not with results that taste this good! The glaze is also great on chicken breasts too!

Honey Mustard Salmon

Prep Time
5 mins

Cook Time
20 mins

Serves
4

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons honey

Juice of 1 lemon

2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 (4-ounce) salmon fillets

Nonstick cooking spray

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to create a glaze.

Place the salmon fillets in the glaze, and toss until evenly coated. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.

Preheat the oven to 400°F, and spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the marinated salmon fillets on the sheet pan, and drizzle any remaining glaze over top.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, just until the thickest fillet flakes with a fork.

Mona’s Tips

You can also use this exact same method and glaze recipe to prepare 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts by simply increasing the bake time to 20–25 minutes. Each chicken breast will contain 280 calories.
