Why You’ll Never Have Salmon the Same Way Again
Flavor Infusion
This recipe gives the salmon a mouthwatering balance of savory and sweet flavors. The combination of Dijon mustard, honey, and smoked paprika brings out the best in the salmon while complementing its natural richness. The garlic powder adds depth without overpowering the fish, and the fresh lemon juice at the end brightens everything up.
Crispy Skin
One of the best parts of cooking salmon this way is the crispy skin. The skin adds a beautiful texture to each bite, and when seared perfectly, it’s like the perfect little crispy treat. Plus, the skin holds in all the natural juices of the salmon, making every bite incredibly moist and flavorful.
Quick and Easy
With minimal preparation and just one pan involved, this recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The honey and mustard glaze adds complexity to the salmon without requiring any complicated ingredients or techniques. The result is a restaurant-quality meal made in just 20-30 minutes.
Tips for Perfecting Your Salmon
- Don’t Overcook: Salmon cooks quickly, and overcooking can lead to dryness. The ideal internal temperature for salmon is around 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare to medium doneness, or 140°F (60°C) for well-done. If you don’t have a thermometer, just look for opaque, flaky flesh.
- Use Skin-on Salmon: Keeping the skin on will help you get that crispy texture. It’s also an extra source of nutrients!
- Customize the Glaze: You can adjust the glaze ingredients based on your preference. Add a bit of soy sauce for a savory umami boost, or use maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper, richer sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
This honey mustard glazed salmon pairs wonderfully with a variety of side dishes:
- Roasted Vegetables: Roasted asparagus, brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes make for a delicious and nutritious side dish.
- Rice or Quinoa: A simple fluffy rice or quinoa provides the perfect base to soak up the delicious glaze.
- Fresh Salad: A light, refreshing green salad with arugula, spinach, or a citrus vinaigrette would complement the richness of the salmon.
- Mashed Potatoes: If you’re craving comfort food, creamy mashed potatoes are always a great option to serve with salmon.
