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!!
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 🙂
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!
Thanks so much!
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.
Oooooooooo Terry- really love the addition of honey here! Will have to try that. 😉 Hope you have been well!
This is my family’s favorite salmon. 🙂
Oh great to hear Ewa!
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.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
So simple and flavorful! on repeat.
This was fantastic! Super simple to put together too.
Thanks so much
Next stop Pad Thai
Awesome Brad, glad you enjoyed. let me know how the pad thai works out. 😉
Made it tonight and loved it. Will be our new “go to” weeknight salmon recipe!
This sounds delicious, and easy! We’re trying to eat more fish in 2015 and this will certainly help.
What a simple way to enjoy salmon. Looking forward to trying it.
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!
Thanks Thalia, hope you are having a great weekend!
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.
This is a beautiful dish my friend!
Thanks Rebecca!
Yum! Mustard and Salmon are one of my favorite combos!
One of mine as well!
