Equipment

  • Grill or oven
  • Aluminum foil
  • Small bowl
  • Brush for oil and glaze application

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets 4 oz each, about 1 inch thick, pin bones removed
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
  • Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel. Brush each fillet with olive oil, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • For Grilling:
    Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Fold a 24-by-12-inch piece of aluminum foil into a square, crimping the edges upward to form a rim. Poke holes in the foil with a fork and brush it lightly with olive oil.
    Place the foil directly on the grill grate. Set the salmon fillets on the foil, skin-side down, leaving 1 inch of space between each piece. Close the lid and grill for 4 minutes.
    Open the lid and brush each fillet generously with the honey mustard glaze. Close the lid and continue grilling for 2-3 more minutes or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill.
    For Oven Cooking:
    Preheat the oven to broil and position a rack in the top third. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush the foil with olive oil.
    Place the salmon fillets on the foil, skin-side down, leaving 1 inch between each piece. Broil for 2 minutes, then brush each fillet liberally with the honey mustard glaze.
    Broil for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the oven.
  • Brush the salmon with a final layer of honey mustard glaze and let it rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Easy Salmon Skin Removal: After cooking, the salmon skin will peel off easily, making it simple to enjoy this dish even if you prefer it skinless. For those who enjoy the added texture, the crispy skin can also be served alongside the fish.
  • Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for an anti-inflammatory meal.
