Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon

Featured in: One-Pan & Sheet-Pan Meals

This dish highlights fresh salmon fillets brushed generously with a vibrant honey mustard glaze made of Dijon and whole grain mustards, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Broiling locks in moisture and creates a slightly caramelized exterior. Just minutes under the broiler result in flaky, succulent fish accented by optional parsley and lemon wedges. Perfect for a quick, wholesome weeknight meal with simple sides like steamed vegetables or rice. For extra depth, marinate beforehand or swap honey with maple syrup.
