Ingredients
- 2 pound salmon fillet skin-on
- 2 lemon sliced into thin rounds, plural
- 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 Dijon mustard rounded tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper or to taste, freshly ground
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
- parsley optional for garnishing, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (use convection if you have it), line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup (highly recommended), place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet, and nestle the lemon slices underneath it, evenly spaced.
- Evenly drizzle with olive oil; set aside.
- To a small bowl, add the lemon juice, Dijon, stir to combine, then slowly spoon the mixture over the salmon. Evenly season with salt and lemon pepper.
- Bake at 375F for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until salmon is nearly done.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, evenly drizzle the salmon with honey, turn broiler to High, and broil for 3 to 5 minutes to finish cooking.
- Alternatively, if you're not comfortable broiling, simply continue baking the salmon for a few extra minutes, or until done; don't overcook or the salmon will be dry and the broccoli will burn.
- Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Note - Keep a very watchful eye on the salmon if you broil it because the honey in the sauce will be prone to burning and it can go from fine looking to burnt in less than 1 minute so don't leave the kitchen and watch it the whole time.
- Checking for doneness: Read blog post for suggestions about how to know when salmon is done. All pieces vary in their thickness and therefore all cooking times will vary. You need to be the judge of when it's done and not go by solely what the clock says.
- Storage: Salmon is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days.
