6 - 8 serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 6 salmon fillets (about 2 1/2 lb. total)
  • 1 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • Chopped fresh parsley, dill, or chives, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325°.

  2. 2

    Drizzle a large sheet tray with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and spread all over. Place the salmon fillets on the tray, leaving about 1 inch of space in between each fillet. Season all over with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Whisk to combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle evenly over the fillets.

  4. 4

    Bake until the thickest part of the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the flesh is opaque, 12 to 15 minutes (an instant-read thermometer should read between 125° and 130°). Transfer salmon to a serving platter; top with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges, if you like.
