If you have a family like mine who loves salmon, you should try making this baked salmon with honey mustard sauce. It is super easy to make and delicious as well. My husband and my oldest son normally like baked salmon with just the basic seasoning: olive oil and seasoning salt. But once in a while, they like to try new salmon recipes especially if it consists of Dijon mustard. In this recipe, a creamy mixture of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, green onions, cider vinegar, salt and pepper was spread over the salmon before it was baked in the oven for 20 minutes. Salmon when properly cooked would be soft, moist and succulent. The reserved mayonnaise mixture was served with the salmon and was also used as a dressing for the salad that I served with the salmon. Yummy!
- ½ cup mayonnaise (I used the olive oil one)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 salmon fillets
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with vegetable oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except salmon. Reserve ⅓ of mayonnaise mixture.
- Spread remaining mayonnaise mixture evenly over salmon fillets. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until salmon flakes with fork.
- Serve salmon with reserved mayonnaise mixture and garnish, if desired, with additional chopped green onions.
