You don't need to travel to Paris to enjoy the flavors of France. This baked salmon is coated with a sauce made with Dijon mustard, thyme, lemon, garlic, and olive oil. Mais oui!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
-
1/4 cup Primal Kitchen Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest or 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Primal Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
- 1 lb. wild salmon fillet
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine thyme, Dijon mustard, lemon zest or juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Place salmon fillet skin-side down on the baking sheet. Make sure all bones are removed (run your hand over the salmon to feel for any bones). Spread the mustard mixture on top of the salmon, coating it generously.
- Place salmon in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes. Remove from oven and serve hot or warm.

Need a dinner recipe that's family-friendly, contains only 7 ingredients, and is ready in less than 30 minutes? You'll want to add this dijon mustard salmon recipe to your repertoire. The star of the show is the sauce that generously coats the salmon before baking. A mixture of dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest or juice, thyme, garlic, and salt and pepper, it's bursting with French-inspired flavor that will complement the salmon instead of overpowering it.
Since you're heating up the oven anyway, why not toss some vegetables on a second sheet pan to roast alongside the salmon? Just cut some broccoli or cauliflower into florets, toss with extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper, and pop in the oven. Asparagus is another great option. Impress your family with your culinary skills—we won't tell them how easy it actually was!
