Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
Honey Mustard Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste

- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Assemble: Place each salmon fillet on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to fold into a packet. Spoon the honey mustard mixture evenly over each fillet. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and seal to create a closed packet.

- Finish: Carefully open the packets and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired. Serve hot.
