If you look for salmon recipes on the Internet, you will find countless possibilities.

But if you want an easy and quick recipe that does not require many ingredients… Don’t panic! You’ve just found it! This honey mustard salmon is what you need.

Ingredients to prepare honey mustard salmon

• Salmon loins
• Soy sauce
• Lemon
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Paprika
• Mustard
• Honey

Fish preparation

1. • Put the salmon loins in a large bowl and pour over them some soy sauce.

2. • Then, squeeze half a lemon over them.

3. • Season it with salt and pepper to taste.

4. • Afterward, sprinkle some paprika on them.

5. • Mix all the ingredients well, ensuring that the salmon loins are totally impregnated.

6. • Cook the salmon loins in a skillet over medium heat to avoid burning them. Try not to overcook them to prevent drying out them and spoiling their texture.

Preparation of the sauce

7. • Heat mustard and honey to taste over low heat. Stir slowly to prevent sticking until a smooth texture is achieved. But you should keep in mind one thing: the resultant sauce will be spicier or sweeter depending on the amount you use of each ingredient.

8. • Pour some sauce over the salmon, but don’t overdo it! The flavor of the sauce is intense and what we are looking for is a balance between the two parts. Garnish it with some dill.

Result

Although this is probably one of the easiest recipes you will find, honey mustard salmon is a delicious and well-balanced dish. If you have already tried cooking this fish with soy sauce, honey, and lemon, you will know that a sweet touch suits it wonderfully. But, on this occasion, the spiciness of the mustard is also present. For this reason, you must be careful at the time you prepare the sauce. Because if you use too much mustard and not enough honey, your sauce will be mostly spicy!

Besides that, you have probably already realized that it will take more time to read this recipe than to prepare it. Honestly, you won’t need more than 20 minutes to get it ready. Also, if you want to serve the fish with a side dish, my recommendation is to prepare baked potatoes – this sauce is great for them too!
