Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (900 g) salmon filet
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) grainy mustard
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • While the oven heats up, make the sauce. In a medium bowl, mix the grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
  • Lay out a piece of foil on a baking sheet. It should be big enough to wrap around the salmon. Put the salmon on top of the foil and season it with kosher salt.
  • Pour the sauce over the salmon. Spread it around using a spoon or a pastry brush. Then, fold the sides of the foil over the salmon to make a sealed packet.
  • Bake the salmon in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. If your salmon is thicker, it might take a bit longer. You'll know it's done when it's easy to flake with a fork. The inside temperature should be 145°F (63°C) if you use a thermometer (I prefer 125°F/52°C, but the FDA recommends 145°F/63°C)
  • After baking, open the foil and put the salmon under the broiler for a few minutes. This will make the top nicely caramelized.
  • Before serving, sprinkle the salmon with chopped parsley. It's best to serve it right away, while it's hot.

To Cook on the Grill:

  • Just move the foil packet with the salmon onto the grill. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked.
  • Open the foil and grill for another 3-4 minutes.

Notes

  • If you don’t want to use a large salmon filet, you can easily make this recipe using 4-6 individual salmon fillets but the baking time will be around 12-15 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon. Dry, overcooked fish will be tough and not nice to eat.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
