Print Recipe

A quick and fuss-free salmon recipe with just three ingredients—honey, Dijon mustard, and salmon—baked in foil for tender, flaky, and flavorful results without flipping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or local preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Optional: pinch of black pepper
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons honey and 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.
  3. Lay out four large sheets of aluminum foil on a baking sheet, each large enough to fold over and seal the salmon completely.
  4. Place one salmon fillet in the center of each foil sheet, skin side down if it has skin.
  5. Brush or spoon the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
  6. Seal the foil packets by folding the edges together tightly to create a pouch that traps steam during cooking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, aiming for an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium doneness.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the packets rest for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Carefully open the foil packets (watch for steam!) and serve immediately. Optionally, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Notes

Use fresh salmon for best texture and flavor. If using frozen salmon, thaw completely and pat dry. Seal foil packets tightly to trap steam and moisture. For extra caramelization, open packets during last 2 minutes and broil briefly, watching carefully. The glaze can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge. Optional additions include black pepper, fresh lemon juice, herbs, or a spicy kick with sriracha or chili flakes.
