Ingredients

• For the honey mustard glaze, you will need:
• - ¼ cup of honey
• - ¼ cup of Dijon mustard
• - 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
• - 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• - Salt and pepper to taste
• For the salmon, you will need:
• - 4 salmon fillets
• - 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• - Salt and pepper to taste
• If you're not a fan of Dijon mustard, feel free to substitute it with whole grain or honey mustard.

Preparation Method

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating up, let's start preparing the honey mustard glaze. Combine the honey, mustard, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season it with salt and pepper, mixing everything until it's well combined.

Now, let's move on to the salmon. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and then season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Cook the salmon for about 4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.

Then, turn off the heat and generously brush the honey mustard glaze over the top of each salmon fillet. Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
