Honey Mustard Salmon with Rosemary
Roasting time will vary slightly based on the thickness of your filet. Slide a knife into the thickest part of the salmon to check if it is done. Cooked salmon will flake. Though many people prefer salmon to be medium rare, my kids freak out if they think it is rare in the middle so we cook it to medium.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 whole filet of wild caught Salmon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup deli-style mustard
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place your oven rack at the top third of the oven. Line your baking sheet with foil. Lay your filet of salmon on the baking sheet. If your salmon still has the skin, lay it skin side down.
- In a small bowl, whisk mustard, honey, salt, olive oil, and rosemary until smooth. Brush it liberally on top of the salmon filet. Cover loosely with foil.
- Roast salmon for 12-16 minutes (dependent on how well-done you like your salmon). Remove the top layer of foil from the salmon and continue roasting for 4-5 minutes so the edges get crispy. (That's my favorite part!)
- Slice the salmon across to serve.
