Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons smooth and mild Dijon mustard
  • 5 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or cayenne powder) OPTIONAL -- adjust to your tastes and spice preference*
  • 1.2 kg | 2 1/2 pound side of salmon
  • Salt to season
  • Black cracked pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • Lemon wedges OPTIONAL

Instructions

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 375°F | 190°C. Line a baking tray / sheet with a large piece of foil, big enough to fold over and seal to create a packet (or 2 long pieces of foil over lapping each other lengthways to create your salmon packet, depending on the width of you fillet).
  • In a small saucepan, combine the honey, mustards, butter, garlic and lemon. Whisk until the honey has melted through the butter and the mixture is well combined.
  • Place the salmon onto lined baking tray | sheet. Pour the butter/honey mixture over the salmon, and using a pastry brush or spoon, spread evenly over the salmon. Sprinkle with a good amount of salt (about 2 teaspoons) and cracked pepper. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon to cover and completely seal the packet closed so the butter does not leak.
  • Bake until cooked through (about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish and your preference of doneness). Open the foil, being careful of any escaping steam, and grill / broil under the grill / broiler for 3-4 minutes on medium heat to caramelise the top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

*If you don't want the addition of spice, leave it out all together OR add mild or sweet paprika for an added pop of colour.
