Dijon Baked Salmon
Description
Dijon Baked Salmon uses a coating of Dijon mustard mixed with parsley, lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper to enhance salmon’s natural flavor. Baking at 375 degrees Fahrenheit gently cooks the fish while the mustard mixture forms a flavorful crust. This results in moist, flaky salmon with a balanced tang and herbaceous aroma from fresh parsley and lemon.
The recipe allows for preparation with either a whole large salmon fillet or multiple smaller fillets, providing versatility. The cooking time varies slightly based on thickness, ensuring the salmon remains tender and juicy without drying out.
This salmon can be served immediately after baking, pairing well with simple sides like steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal. The herbed mustard layer acts as both seasoning and glaze, making this a practical baked fish option that doesn’t require added sauce.
You may prepare this recipe using 4-6 individual salmon fillets instead of one large fillet for easier serving.For those following Whole30, select a Dijon mustard that complies with the diet for authentic flavor.This dish is popular for meal prep and can be enjoyed over several days when properly stored.
