  1. Hi. Can you make this with a whole salmon or larger filets? And how would I adjust cooking time? I’m feeding a large group of people and would love to just serve a large , gorgeous salmon out of the oven. Thank you!! Love you so much!!

    1. Yes absolutely! You would just have to check on doneness- it depends on size and thickness. If very thick and big I would lower heat to 350 for more even cooking 🙂

  2. I have in the past baked halibut with mayo and regular dijon on top to keep fish moist. it’s delicious. But thank you for making me realize that salmon too taste delicious with Maille seeded mustard, so yummy. Love the simplicity of 3 easy ingredients, letting the ingredients talk to my taste buds. Your presentations are always such eye candy with a superb health feeling. Thank you!

  3. Simple and delicious. Very quick to make with great flavor. I will sometimes drizzle a tablespoon of honey over the salmon and mustard before I put it in the oven.






    1. Oooooooooo Terry- really love the addition of honey here! Will have to try that. 😉 Hope you have been well!

  4. Hey that was delicious! I usually throw random sauces on top always but have never used mustard. It was really good with cous cous and a salad and raspberry vinegarette.






  5. I regularly make salmon for dinner during the week and always am searching for new ways to cook it. Thanks for sharing this mustard glazed version. I definitely will be making it!

  6. This is indeed a healthy and delicious presentation of salmon and i really appreciated the step by step illustration of its how-to-cook methods. I can’t wait to try this Mustard Crusted Salmon recipe at home and surely this would turn out to be an incredible meal and i just have to add side dishes. This reminds of the incredible seafood meal i really enjoyed before at Steersons Steakhouse in Sydney.
