Easy Baked Honey Mustard Salmon
Description
This recipe involves marinating a 500 g salmon side in a mixture of olive oil, crushed garlic, honey, wholegrain mustard, fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. The salmon is sealed in foil to retain moisture and baked at 200°C for about 30 minutes until cooked through. Concurrently, new potatoes are parboiled, then drained, tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roasted until their skins become crisp while the inside remains soft and fluffy.
The folding of foil creates a sealed environment that helps the salmon stay tender and infused with the honey-mustard sauce. The use of wholegrain mustard adds texture and a mild, slightly pungent flavor. Fresh parsley adds a hint of herbaceous brightness. The potatoes serve as a mild and satisfying side with textural contrast.
This straightforward recipe can be adjusted by using individual salmon fillets instead of a side, switching the honey to maple syrup, or even applying the marinade to chicken or halloumi. For a slightly charred texture, a brief broil after baking can add edge crispness. Serving with extra lemon juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes introduces more brightness or subtle heat.
