Baked Honey Garlic Salmon
Ingredients required:
- 1 pound side of salmon
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup whole-grain Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- Juice of half lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Coarse salt and black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cilantro
- 1 lime sliced to garnish
How to prepare:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a large piece of foil to fold over and seal to create a packet. In a bowl, combine honey, mustard, lemon juice, oil, paprika, red pepper flakes, Cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and set aside. Place the salmon on the baking sheet. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the salmon, and spread evenly over the fish. Sprinkle with a good amount of salt and cracked pepper. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon to cover and completely seal the packet closed, so that the sauce does not leak. Bake until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Carefully open the foil, and broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes on medium heat to caramelize the top of salmon. Garnish with some cilantro and serve immediately with lemon slices.
