Honey Mustard Baked Salmon (Print)

Flavorful salmon fillets topped with honey mustard glaze and crisp panko, baked until moist and golden.

# Ingredients:

→ Salmon

01 - 4 fresh salmon fillets, rinsed and patted dry

→ Panko Topping

02 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
03 - 60 grams plain or seasoned panko breadcrumbs
04 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

→ Honey Mustard Sauce

05 - 80 millilitres honey mustard sauce

→ Homemade Honey Mustard Sauce (optional)

06 - 60 grams mayonnaise
07 - 60 grams Dijon mustard
08 - 60 grams honey
09 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
10 - 1 tablespoon white vinegar
11 - 0.5 gram sweet paprika
12 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with aluminium foil.
02 - In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.
03 - Brush the top of each salmon fillet with honey mustard sauce. Evenly press the panko topping mixture over each fillet to cover.
04 - Arrange the coated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 63°C.
05 - Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For even cooking, select salmon fillets of similar size and thickness.
02 - Leave the skin on during baking to help retain moisture; it can be removed easily after cooking if desired.
03 - A kitchen thermometer ensures the salmon reaches a safe internal temperature.
04 - Personalize the dish with alternative fresh herbs such as dill, basil, or tarragon.
