## How to Prepare Honey Mustard Salmon
### Step #1:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the foil with non-stick cooking spray and arrange your salmon fillets on the foil. If you’re using skinned salmon, make sure to place it skin side down.
### Step #2:
Then, mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
### Step #3:
After that, drizzle half of the honey mustard sauce over the salmon pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated. Make sure the spoon doesn’t come into contact with the salmon, as some of the sauce will be saved for later – alternatively, you can divide the sauce into two bowls and use one for cooking and the other for after cooking.
### Step #4:
Next, cover the salmon with another sheet of aluminum foil and bake it in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is nearly cooked through.
### Step #5:
Then, remove the salmon from the oven, take off the top sheet of aluminum foil, and switch your oven to broil on LOW.
### Step #6:
Drizzle a small amount of the remaining sauce over the salmon pieces and broil in your oven, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes until they’ve reached your preferred doneness.
### Step #7:
Finally, pour the rest of the sauce over the salmon along with the chopped parsley, then serve and relish!
## FAQs
**Can I substitute Dijon mustard for regular mustard in this salmon recipe?**
Absolutely! Dijon mustard works wonderfully as a replacement for your honey-mustard glaze if you don’t have regular mustard. I’ve tried this recipe with both and prefer the stronger flavor of regular mustard as opposed to Dijon.
**What can I pair with this Honey Mustard Salmon recipe?**
I suggest pairing this dish with some rice, an arugula salad, or even fresh veggies.
