Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 Baltic salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until crisp and golden.
  4. Step 4: Flip the fillets carefully and brush the honey-mustard sauce generously over the top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is sticky.
  5. Step 5: Remove salmon from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill over the fillets before serving with steamed vegetables or boiled new potatoes.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Honey-Glazed Baltic Salmon with Mustard and Dill take to make?

Total time is about 20 minutes (10 min prep + 10 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Honey-Glazed Baltic Salmon with Mustard and Dill?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep honey from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Honey-Glazed Baltic Salmon with Mustard and Dill?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Honey-Glazed Baltic Salmon with Mustard and Dill for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
