5 ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need for this fresh and healthy honey mustard roasted salmon. 

5-Ingredient Honey Mustard Salmon by The Lemon Bowl

We grew up eating seafood several nights a week and my mom’s honey mustard salmon was always one of my favorites. This simple 5-ingredient recipe is ideal for a busy weeknight dinner but fancy enough to serve company.

Many people love to order seafood in restaurants but are intimidated to cook it at home. The truth is, fish is practically fool-proof and so easy to prepare on your own. Quick cooking and extremely versatile, salmon and other seafood  can be flavored with any spices or fresh herbs you have on hand. 

5-Ingredient Roasted Salmon with Honey Mustard - The Lemon Bowl

Naturally protein-packed and full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is one of our go-to week night dinners. We enjoy eating it grilled, pan-seared and of course roasted. Serve with rice pilaf and a quick green salad and dinner is done.

Your fork is waiting.

  4. Made it last night. My husband, who does not really like salmon, finished every bite. So, this will be my “go-to” salmon recipe. Thanks so much for helping me to get him to eat more salmon. Soooo healthy!

  7. Just in time for Friday’s dinner which is mostly fish. (Raised a Catholic and it is just in my DNA!) Thanks for solving what I’m having for dinner tonight.

  11. This sounds like a great way to prepare salmon. At some point I’m going to get brave and fix fish for dinner and get my husband to eat it… This recipe would be an excellent starting place.
