Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped green onion, and grated ginger until well combined. Place your salmon fillet in a baking dish, then spread the mustard mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle a little black pepper on the salmon to taste. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily when you poke it with a fork. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is quick and full of flavor, making it ideal for a solo meal. The tangy Dijon glaze adds a nice kick without overpowering the natural richness of the salmon. It feels special but is easy enough for any night of the week.
How to serve
Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad to keep the meal fresh and balanced. A side of quinoa or brown rice works well to soak up any extra glaze. A squeeze of lemon on top can brighten the flavors even more.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying out the salmon. It’s best enjoyed fresh but will still taste good warmed.
