Ingredients

  • 1 batch honey mustard sauce see below
  • 2 pound side of salmon boneless
  • 1 tablespoon finely-chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Honey mustard sauce ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup whole grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Sash of salt

Instructions

  1. Instructions:
  2. Heat oven to 375 degrees or heat a grill to medium heat.
  3. Prepare your honey mustard sauce as directed below.
  4. Line a large baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray, then lay the salmon skin side down in the middle of the foil. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Spoon the honey mustard sauce on top of the salmon, and spread it around evenly so that it covers the top of the salmon.
  6. Fold the sides of foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. (If your sheet of foil is not large enough, just place a second sheet of foil on top and fold the edges so that it forms a sealed packet.)
  7. Carefully transfer the packet of salmon to the grill, and grill until the salmon is almost completely cooked through, about 12-14 minutes. Carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
  8. Remove salmon from the oven or grill. Sprinkle the top of the salmon evenly with parsley, and serve immediately.
  9. Enjoy! 😀
