Dijon Baked Salmon is a simple yet flavorful dish featuring tender salmon coated in a tangy mustard, garlic, and herb mixture and baked to perfection. This easy recipe ensures moist, flaky salmon with a deliciously zesty crust, making it a perfect healthy meal option for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 1 ½ pounds salmon (King, Sockeye, or Coho)

Herbed Mustard Coating

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the salmon evenly.
  2. Prepare Mustard Mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the Dijon mustard, fresh parsley, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful herbed mustard coating.
  3. Coat Salmon: Place the salmon fillet on a parchment-lined baking tray, then generously spread the mustard mixture over the top of the salmon, ensuring an even layer that will infuse flavor during baking.
  4. Bake the Salmon: Bake the coated salmon in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven, slice the salmon into individual portions, and serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
