Ingredients
Salmon and Seasoning
- 2 lemons (1 sliced and 1 juiced)
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Glaze
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the salmon.
- Prepare Salmon Base: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and arrange the lemon slices in the center. Place the salmon fillet on top of the lemon slices. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, then season evenly with paprika, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Bake the salmon for 12 minutes.
- Make the Honey Dijon Glaze: While the salmon is baking, in a small bowl combine the lemon juice from the juiced lemon, melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir the mixture thoroughly until well combined.
- Glaze and Continue Baking: Remove the salmon from the oven once the initial 12 minutes are up. Brush the top of the salmon generously with the honey Dijon glaze.
- Finish Baking: Return the glazed salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit at the thickest part.
Notes
- Storage – Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
