A delightful salmon recipe featuring a honey mustard marinade with a touch of dill and garlic.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well blended.
Whisking the marinade thoroughly ensures the flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Turn the salmon fillets a few times to coat them evenly with the marinade.
Sprinkle the fresh dill over the salmon fillets, covering both sides.
Using fresh dill enhances the flavor and aroma of the dish.
Cover the dish and refrigerate the salmon for at least 2 hours to marinate.
Marinating for a longer time allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the fish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking.
Bake the marinated salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Check the salmon for doneness by flaking it with a fork; it should be opaque and flaky.
Serve the salmon warm, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
Pair the salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
