A quick and easy weeknight dinner, roasted salmon is brushed with a fresh and flavorful honey mustard sauce the whole family will love. 5 ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need.
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.
How do you make honey mustard?
It’s relatively simple. All you need to do is combine honey and either whole grain or dijon mustard.
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.
What sides go well with salmon?
Good pairings with this salmon would include rice pilaf, some roasted garlic green beans or quick green salad and dinner is done.
Your fork is waiting.
