Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and chopped dill. Brush half the glaze evenly over salmon fillets.
  3. Step 3: Bake salmon for 12-14 minutes until edges are slightly crisp and salmon flakes easily with a fork — internal temperature should reach 145°F.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze, then garnish with extra dill.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately with steamed asparagus or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
