How to Make Honey Mustard Salmon
If you can set aside 25 minutes, that’s all you will need before you are eating this amazing salmon! It takes only a few minutes of prep work and then the rest of the time, you are just waiting for it to bake!
Pick out the right salmon: If you don’t get this step right, there isn’t much hope for it turning out well! Make sure that when you are picking out your salmon that you don’t go for the cheapest one. You want a good quality filet. The best way to tell if its good salmon is to smell it! If it smells fishy (or anything NOT good) then don’t buy it or take it back! Fresh salmon won’t have a strong smell to it. Don’t overcook: Salmon finishes cooking AFTER you take it out of the oven. So if you let it cook to long in the oven, it will continue to cook and be overdone after you take it out! You want to take it out of the oven before it flakes apart and is still a bit raw in the middle. Then, as it continues cooking while you wait to eat it, it will fall apart just perfectly on your fork! Dressing: This homemade honey mustard dressing is a MUST when baking this salmon. It brings a delicious flavor and adds to the amazing taste! Don’t skip this step!
Refrigerate: Once it has cooled, place your salmon in an airtight container. It will last in your fridge for 3-4 days! Reheat: You want to reheat salmon slowly so that it doesn’t dry out! Place your honey mustard salmon on a baking sheet. Put it in the oven at 275 degrees for about 15 minutes or until heated through. The internal temperature should be 130 degrees.
