OVEN BAKED HONEY MUSTARD SALMON!

Today I am sharing with you a quick and easy, delicious and nutritious option for your dinner! This oven baked, honey mustard salmon is a great go to for when you are in a pinch to get dinner going! If you are a lover of salmon, you are going to love this! Flaky salmon topped with a quick honey mustard sauce and sprinkled with crispy bread crumbs. Baked to perfection, all you need to complete this meal is a delicious veggie or salad on the side. I know you are going to want to give this gem a try!

We came across a great deal on Atlantic salmon this week at the grocer and wanted to do something a little different. My usual go to is to poach the fish in water with lemon, tarragon and onion. We love that version and usually serve it with either bearnaise or hollandaise sauce. This time I wanted something a little less time intensive and without the extra heavy sauce. Which is delicious, but when you are trying to pare back your meal plan you want lots of flavor without all the extras.

I purchased a whole side of salmon and cut it into portions and then took the skin off. I love crispy salmon skin if it is done right in a very hot cast iron skillet for just the right amount of time. I will eat that ish all day long. But baking it like this in a not as hot oven will only steam that skin and make it pallid and soggy. So off it came. I did the salmon on a baking sheet lined with non stick aluminum foil for ease of clean up and so that my fish would not stick.

I mixed up a bit of honey mustard by blending some Dijon mustard right out of the bottle with some honey. I used about 1/2 cup of mustard to 1/4 cup of honey and blended them well. I sprinkled the fish with a bit of my favorite salt free seasoning. You should use your favorite or what you have on hand. A bit of lemon pepper, season all, season salt or even old bay would be perfect. Mrs. Dash works well too! Give all those filets a good sprinkle of that seasoning before liberally brushing on some of the honey mustard over each of the pieces. Next sprinkle the fish with a good amount of bread crumb over the top of each one. You don't want a ton, but just enough to blanket the filets.

We are almost ready to put these in the oven for a little nap. But first, to ensure crispy brown topping, I gave each piece of fish a good spray with my coconut oil cooking spray. Just a light coating will give you the desired outcome you are looking for and it will help everything brown up nicely. Pop this in a 350 degree oven for about 20 to 25 minutes depending on how well done you enjoy your salmon and you are in for a real treat!

When the fish is flaky it is ready to come out of the oven. Allow to rest for five minutes before serving. I served my salmon with some oven roasted asparagus spears. If you are interested in seeing how I do that you can check out my video here: http://bit.ly/2Uzl95Z
The video is very old and the quality is not great. It is probably a candidate for a redo. Stay tuned for a future revamping!

This salmon was delicious! Like smack yo mama good! The leftovers were even good cold as a quick lunch the next day! I love cold salmon leftovers by themselves or in a salad. This was just perfect and everyone loved it. This was Atlantic salmon and was not fishy tasting at all as it can sometimes be. On tip is to be sure to cut off the thinner sections of the side of salmon to avoid the very fishy taste that comes from certain sections that are not as fatty to avoid that taste. Overall this was amazing and I am so glad were were able to share it with you!

I hope you give this idea for oven roasted, honey mustard salmon a try, sometime soon and I hope you love it!

Happy Eating!
