Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
Bake: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Finish: Carefully open the packets and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

This recipe also works well on the grill.
For a full meal, add sliced zucchini, asparagus, or thinly sliced potatoes to the foil packets before sealing.
Adjust cooking time slightly based on thickness of fillets.
