What You’ll Need

Salmon: Choose salmon filets that are roughly the same size. This recipe works with or without the skin, but leaving the skin on helps it to hold it together during cooking and serving. Frozen fillets should be thawed and patted dry with a paper towel before using.

Glaze: I love this honey mustard glaze. It’s a tangy and sweet blend of cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper that adds a deliciously rich flavor to your fish.

Variations

  • Whisk the remaining glaze with some heavy whipping cream in Step 4 to make a rich and creamy sauce.
  • Switch out the honey for maple syrup, or the Dijon for a spicy ground mustard.
  • Add fresh or dried herbs like dill, thyme, or rosemary.
  • For a spicy kick, sprinkle on a bit of sriracha or cayenne pepper.
  • Bake the salmon in the oven instead by following this easy recipe.
