I always hesitate posting recipes that are overly simple and really don’t warrant an actual recipe. But here it is anyways -a recipe for Baked Salmon with Mustard – because this is truly something we eat at home often – for it’s simple preparation, short ingredient list, healthiness and super tasty factor. I’m sure many of you have already made this in some form or another, so perhaps just use this as a little reminder, to make it again soon!
How to make Honey Mustard Salmon
The salmon is drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with kosher salt and pepper, then lathered up with whole grain mustard, and optional honey. That’s it.
It goes in a 375 F oven for 10-12 minutes or so, and it’s done.
When it comes out, the fish is moist and flavorful, and the mustard crust is addicting. Sometimes I will broil it for couple minutes to make it extra crispy. I love this over a hearty green salad or with cauliflower rice, everyday kale salad, basmati rice, roasted veggies– and voila! Your weeknight dinner is ready in a flash.
Preheat oven to 375F
Brush with olive oil and sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper on both sides, and lay it on an oiled or parchment lined baking sheet.
Cover with mustard and honey ( mix together first).
Bake 12-15 minutes or until desired done-ness.
Enjoy the salmon!

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.

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.

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!
