Prep Time: 15 min

Cook time: 18-20 min

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced

• 2–3 Tbsp. capers

  Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 1/2 lbs. salmon, preferably wild-caught

Optional Garnish:

• Juice of 1 lemon

• Splash of olive oil or extra melted butter

  
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking tray with parchment

   paper.

2. Mix the butter, mustard, parsley, garlic, capers, salt, and

   pepper in a small bowl.

3. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the tray. Coat the top

   of the salmon generously with the herbed mustard mix.

4. Bake for 18–20 minutes, depending on size and thickness.

   When salmon is finished (cooked through and flaky), remove

   from oven and slice into individual portions. Do not overcook,

   since the salmon will continue to cook, even after you remove

   it from the oven.

5. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice with a dash of olive oil on top

   of each portion before serving.
