Ingredients Required

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

How To Prepare

1. In a shallow dish, combine olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, ground coriander, fresh lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the salmon fillets to the marinade. Let them marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavours.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. Grease a baking dish lightly to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place them in the prepared baking dish.
6. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
