It’s no secret I am all about flavor and finding easy ways to kick my flavors up a notch is always my agenda. It’s amazing what a spoonful of mustard can do! Combined with a few simple ingredients, you can take your salmon recipes from average to excellent.

Ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe:

For the fish, you’ll need salmon. I chose to take the simple route on the seasonings so the mustard glaze could shine. A little black pepper and sea salt is all you need.

I use two types of mustard for the glaze — a Dijon mustard and an old-style mustard. The Dijon is tangy with a hint of spice, and the old-style contains crisp whole mustard seeds. They are the perfect combination of taste and texture. In addition to the mustard, you’ll need raw unfiltered honey, minced garlic, and ground turmeric. The honey mustard glaze strikes an ideal balance of tangy and sweet.

How to make honey mustard salmon:

Cut your salmon filet into two-inch wide pieces.

Seasoning salmon with salt

Season your salmon with salt and black pepper and place them into a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil. You can adjust this according to your taste.

  1. This is a great way to prepare salmon.

    I personally do not like the skin and my husband does – so I crisp the skin in a non-stick frypan before putting it into the oven. Then I finish by baking as your recipe indicates. When I serve it, I include the skin from my piece of salmon with his portaion – and we are both very happy!

    I recently had the opportunity to go to Paris and pick up one of the special Maille mustards they have on draught. I made salmon using the limited edition that included rosemary and honey – which was simply divine.

    I appreciate your sharing the importance of the mustard you pick – it makes all the difference!
