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. The flavor is rich and it’s very low in saturated fat and a good source of protein.
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 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves of garlic – minced
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons of fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoons of 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. This rich and creamy sauce will add a lot of flavor to the baked salmon.
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. The fish will flake easily when it’s done.
Serve with a salad and baked potato for a great week night meal.
