A delightful salmon recipe with a honey-mustard glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the salmon.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon fillets skin-side down on it.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth.
Taste the glaze and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Spread the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets using a spatula.
Ensure the glaze covers the salmon completely for maximum flavor.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the glazed salmon.
Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their nutty flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon's doneness by gently pressing it with a fork; it should flake easily.
Serve the salmon immediately, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
Pair the salmon with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
