If you’re looking for an easy to make weeknight dinner that takes only 5 minutes of prep time, you need to try this honey mustard salmon. The salmon is brushed with a 2-ingredient honey mustard sauce then seasoned and topped with bread crumbs.
All you need is salmon, a few pantry staples and some fresh parsley. This recipe is packed with flavor and comes out perfect every time.
I shared a version of this recipe a few months back on my Instagram and it’s been a staple ever since. The recipe is light and fresh, and can be served with so many different sides.
The salmon flakes so easily and is packed with flavor. I love it with a loaded kale salad, roasted potatoes or a fresh pasta salad.
Ingredients you’ll need:
- salmon
- spices: paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper
- honey
- djion mustard
- breadcrumbs- you can use pre-seasoned, or season lightly with the above spices
- olive oil
- parsley
- lemon juice
How to make honey mustard salmon
- Coat the salmon in the honey mustard mix then top with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika
- In a small bowl, season the breadcrumbs lightly with the same spices then toss together with chopped parsley and olive oil. Sprinkle over the salmon and gently press down
- Top the salmon with a light drizzle of olive oil, then bake for about 12-15 minutes
Depending on the thickness of your salmon, you may need to adjust the cooking time. It should flake easily when ready. If you’re preparing this recipe with 4 individual fillets, you will likely need to bake it for less time, closer to 10-12 minutes.
This recipe is easy to make, packed with flavor, and one of our favorite weeknight meals. Check out some of my suggested side dishes to pair with this meal below.
