Ingredients:
- Fresh OceanBox Salmon fillets
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Olive oil
- Honey
- Dijon mustard
- Garlic, minced
- Apple cider vinegar
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for getting that delicious crispy skin on the salmon.
2. Prepare the glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. This mixture will create a beautifully sweet and tangy glaze that will caramelize on the salmon as it cooks.
3. Season the salmon
Lightly season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavors of the fish.
4. Pan-sear the salmon
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy. This method helps to lock in the flavors and gives the salmon a nice texture.
5. Glaze the salmon
Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet. Make sure to cover the surface area well for maximum flavor.
6. Roast the salmon
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze has caramelized. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
7. Garnish and serve
Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a touch of freshness and color.
