Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your broiler: Set your oven to broil to get it nice and hot.
  2. Prepare the mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, and olive oil. Set aside.
  3. Season the salmon: Place your salmon fillets on a baking dish lined with foil. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Glaze the salmon: Spread the mustard sauce generously over each fillet.
Cooking
  1. Broil the salmon: Position the baking dish under the broiler. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has a lovely caramelized top.
  2. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley (if using), and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For best results, choose the freshest salmon, baste with extra sauce halfway through broiling, and watch closely to prevent overcooking. Let the salmon rest for a minute before serving.
