From the department of “it can’t get any easier than this” I share with you a flavorful baked salmon fillet topped with an easy honey mustard sauce that takes all of five minutes to prep. It’s a stir, pour, and bake kind of recipe and is so simple that I hesitated to share it because it’s hardly a recipe at all.

But easy recipes are the best recipes, right? So, if it’s been a while since you’ve made baked salmon this is a great recipe to try. It’s easy, the combination of honey, mustard, fresh dill, and salmon is a classic one and all you need is a bowl, a sheet pan, and some foil to make it.

Ingredients

Salmon fillet: I used an 8-ounce salmon fillet for this recipe which is enough for three decent sized servings. Salmon is pretty rich and a little goes a long way so it can even be stretched to serve four if you have a side and maybe some bread to go along with it.
The sauce is a mixture of honey and Dijon mustard along with some pantry seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Tips for Making Baked Salmon

Look for a salmon fillet that is about one-inch thick, which will take about 12 minutes to bake.
If your salmon is thicker (or thinner) you will need to adjust the cooking time. The best way to know when your salmon is cooked is to test it with a fork. It should flake easily.
Line your baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.
