Salmon in honey mustard glaze

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glaze:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined. This will be your glaze.

2. Season the Salmon:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the salmon with a little salt and pepper.

3. Glaze the Salmon:

   • Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet. Brush or spoon the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each fillet.

4. Bake:

   • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.

5. Garnish and Serve:

   • If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving.

6. Optional Broil:

   • For a caramelized finish, you can broil the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the honey mustard-glazed salmon with steamed vegetables, rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
• For a complete meal, consider pairing it with roasted potatoes or a side of sautéed greens.
