Notes
- Use similar-sized fillets: Salmon fillets that are close in size will cook more evenly.
- Line the pan with foil: This makes cleanup easier and helps keep the sauce from sticking to the pan.
- Do not overbake: Salmon cooks quickly, so start checking it near the lower end of the bake time to keep it tender.
- Brush on all the sauce: Coating the tops well helps give the salmon the best honey mustard flavor as it bakes.
- Serve right away: Honey mustard salmon is best warm, right out of the oven, when the texture is most tender.
