Honey Dijon Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon filets
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• Lemon wedges (for serving)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the salmon filets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season both sides of the filets with salt and black pepper.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves to create a delicious glaze.
4. Brush the glaze over each salmon filet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the filet.
6. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

Serve the Honey Dijon Glazed Salmon with your choice of sides, such as quinoa, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes or a refreshing cucumber salad. The sweet and tangy glaze enhances the natural richness of the salmon, creating a delightful and nutritious meal.
