Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Place 4 salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and brush each evenly with the honey-mustard glaze. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, rinse 1 cup quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
  4. Step 4: Remove quinoa from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in 2 tbsp fresh chopped dill, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp lemon zest for a bright, fresh flavor.
  5. Step 5: Serve the glazed salmon over a bed of lemon-dill quinoa.
