Do you like 30 minute meals?  You will love this one! Salmon is my favorite fish.  I’m not much for fish in general unless it is seafood, but I do love salmon. This recipe for Baked Salmon has a lovely honey Dijon mustard and garlic sauce that compliments it well.

 Baked Salmon with Honey Dijon and Garlic Sauce

The recipe is very easy to do.  I make the marinade early in the day and then just pop the whole thing in the oven when it’s dinner time.

Assemble your ingredients.  You will need

• 2 salmon fillets
• Kosher Salt and black pepper
• 2 tbsp of dijon mustard
• 3 cloves of garlic – minced
• 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
• 2-3 tbsp of fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• zest of 1/2 lemon

 Preheat the oven to 425 º F and place the salmon in a baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Combine the other ingredients for the marinade/sauce.

Coat the salmon with the marinade.  (you can then put in the fridge until dinner time or cook it right now.)

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes.  Serve with a salad and baked potato for a great week night meal.
