Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or use a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring each one is thoroughly coated. If using a dish, cover it with plastic wrap; if using a bag, seal it tightly. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld, or up to 2 hours for an even richer taste.

      Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C).

        Bake the Salmon: After marinating, remove the salmon from the dish or bag, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Arrange the fillets on a lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Reserve the marinade for later use. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes apart with a fork.

          Baste and Broil (Optional): For enhanced caramelization and a deeper flavor, baste the salmon with some of the reserved marinade during the last 5 minutes of baking. Alternatively, switch the oven to broil during this time, watching closely to prevent burning.

            Serve: Once cooked, take the salmon out of the oven. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with finely chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Serve hot alongside lemon wedges for a lively, zesty addition to each bite.

                - Presentation Tips: For a beautiful plate, consider serving the salmon on a bed of steamed asparagus or alongside a vibrant salad. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for added flavor and garnish with lemon wedges to enhance the dish's visual appeal.
