Ingredients
- 1/3 cup whole-grain mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (2-pound) salmon fillet, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions
Step 1 -In a small bowl, add the mustard, the honey, the garlic, the lemon juice, the paprika, the salt, and the black pepper and whisk to combine.
Step 2 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 3 -Line a large baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Step 4 -Coat the foil with cooking spray.
Step 5 -Lay the salmon on the prepared foil.
Step 6 -Spoon the honey-mustard sauce over the top of the salmon and spread it around evenly so it covers the entire top of the salmon.
Step 7 -Fold the sides of the foil up and over the top of the salmon so it is completely enclosed.
Step 8 -Bake until the salmon is almost cooked through, about 13-15 minutes.
Step 9 -Carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so the top of the salmon is exposed.
Step 10 -Switch the oven to broil and broil the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 2-3 minutes. Watch the salmon carefully to ensure the sauce does not burn.
Step 11 -Serve the salmon garnished with the parsley.
