A delightful salmon recipe featuring a tangy and sweet honey-Dijon glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures the oven reaches the correct temperature for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, light mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and juice from half a lemon until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the ingredients are well combined for a consistent glaze.
Place the salmon fillets in a foil-lined baking dish, skin-side down.
Lining the dish with foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Spread the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are fully coated.
Use a spoon or brush to evenly distribute the glaze for consistent flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon for doneness by gently pressing with a fork; it should flake easily.
Serve the salmon warm, garnished with a slice of lemon or fresh herbs if desired.
Serving with a garnish adds a touch of elegance to the presentation.
