Ingredients
Scale
- 1.25 pounds skin-on salmon fillet
- 1 large lemon, sliced into thin rounds
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat oven to 375F and place a piece of foil on the baking sheet to cover it completely.
- Position: Place salmon on the foil with the skin-side down. Raise the edges of the foil up about 2 inches to contain the buttery mixture.
- Layer: Nestle lemon slices underneath the salmon, spaced evenly around the fillet.
- Melt: Heat butter in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup or bowl on high power for about 1 minute.
- Combine: Stir in the honey, Dijon, and lemon juice. Pour about two-thirds of the mixture over the salmon and reserve the remainder.
- Season: Evenly season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Seal: Seal the foil packet air-tight. If possible, marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Bake: Bake for about 15 minutes.
- Expose: Remove salmon from the oven and open the foil packet to expose the salmon while keeping the edges raised. Set oven to Hi broil.
- Glaze: Spoon the reserved buttery mixture over the salmon.
- Broil: Broil for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden as desired.
- Finish: Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Salmon is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
