Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
4 pieces salmon fillet (6 ounces each), with skin
Chopped fresh dill (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Put salmon, skin side down, in a baking dish, and spoon mustard glaze over each piece of fish. Bake until salmon is just cooked through and no longer red, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped dill, if desired, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for a fillet that is firm and has a bright color. Avoid any salmon that appears slimy or has an off odor.
  • Use a good quality mustard: The mustard is the key ingredient in this glaze, so it's important to use a good quality mustard that you enjoy the taste of. A grainy mustard will add a bit of texture to the glaze, while a smooth mustard will create a more uniform glaze.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky, so err on the side of caution and remove the salmon from the oven a few minutes before you think it's done.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving: Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This sticky citrus mustard glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The glaze is made with a combination of citrus juice, mustard, brown sugar, and honey, which gives the salmon a sweet and tangy flavor. The glaze also helps to keep the salmon moist and juicy, making it a perfect choice for grilling or baking. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
