Ingredients
- •Honey(80g)
- •Butter(60g)
- •Mustard, Whole Grain(60g)
- •Mustard, Dijon(30g)
Dijon mustard — Grey Poupon or store brand. Spicier than yellow mustard.
- •Garlic(300g)
- •Lemon Juice, Fresh(30g)
- •Chili powder(3g)
- •Salmon
- •1 pinch salt (to season)
- •1 pinch cracked pepper (to taste)
- •Parsley, Fresh(30g)
- •Lemon
Instructions
- 1Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 375°F | 190°C. Line a baking tray / sheet with a large piece of foil, big enough to fold over and seal to create a packet (or 2 long pieces of foil over lapping each other lengthways to create your salmon packet, depending on the width of you fillet).
- 2In a small saucepan, combine the honey, mustards, butter, garlic and lemon. Whisk until the honey has melted through the butter and the mixture is well combined.
- 3Place the salmon onto lined baking tray | sheet. Pour the butter/honey mixture over the salmon, and using a pastry brush or spoon, spread evenly over the salmon. Sprinkle with a good amount of salt (about 2 teaspoons) and cracked pepper. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon to cover and completely seal the packet closed so the butter does not leak.
- 4Bake until cooked through (about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish and your preference of doneness). Open the foil, being careful of any escaping steam, and grill / broil under the grill / broiler for 3-4 minutes on medium heat to caramelise the top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
