Baked Salmon with Honey Dijon and Garlic

Contributed by Meghann Pracanica

Normally we just add some seasoning to our salmon but I was looking for something a little different (and more flavorful) so I thought I'd give this a shot. We really liked it and the sauce can be made in minutes. I served it with rice and garlic bread but I think some green beans or a salad would be great with it too. Great dish for summer! 

Baked Salmon with Honey Dijon and Garlic

Prep time:  5 mins

Cook time:  15 mins

Total time:  20 mins

Ingredients:

• 2 10-12 ounce fresh salmon (cleaned, pin-bones removed)
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2-3 tbsp. parsley, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp. honey Dijon mustard 
• Juice of half a lemon
• A pinch of salt
• ⅛ cup of olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon pieces on top of the foil and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, parsley, honey Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil. Whisk well until well-combined then using a pastry brush, brush on the sauce onto the salmon pieces.
3. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes (or depending on how thick your slices of salmon are, you may need to reduce the time by 2-3 minutes or increase it by 2-3 minutes - just keep an eye on it!)
4. Serve with your favorite sides.

Salmon with Sriracha & Lime

It wasn't until I was typing this up that I realized I completely missed that I was supposed to use the lime zest.  It was still awesome.  There is heat and sweet and fresh, all without covering up the salmon flavor.  Definitely a new favorite here, especially since these are ingredients I always have on hand.  The dish comes together very quickly.  Maybe 10 minutes of prep and less than 20 to cook.

• {need}
• Juice and zest of 1/2 lime
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 1/2 teaspoons tsp sriracha sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 1 1/4 lbs pounds salmon fillet, skin removed
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro

{do} 

1. Heat oven to 425°. In a bowl, whisk together juice, zest, syrup, sriracha and salt. Place salmon in a baking dish lined with parchment paper; pour lime-maple mixture over top. Roast salmon until cooked through and flaky, 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro; serve.
