Honey Mustard Salmon
Pair salmon and Buzz Savories Honey Mustard and the combination wins in two ways. First, the honey mustard sauce compliments the subtle flavors of the salmon fillet, and second, the mustard retains moisture in the fillet as it cooks. The recipe comes together with ease and a moist fillet with optimum flavor is the result every time.

Instructions
To Make Honey Mustard Salmon in Foil
- Heat oven to 325 Degrees or heat a grill to medium heat.
- Whisk all Honey Mustard Sauce ingredients together for the Honey Mustard Sauce.⅓ cup Buzz Savories Honey Mustard, 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced, 2 Tb. fresh lemon juice, ¼ tsp smoked paprika, ¼ tsp Kosher salt or sea salt, ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper, ½-1 tsp olive oil to thin the sauce so it can be easily spread (if needed)
- Line a large baking sheet with with a large sheet of aluminum foil. Mist the foil with cooking spray, then lay out the salmon in the middle of the foil.2 lbs side of salmon, boneless and skinless
- Spoon the Buzz Savories Honey Mustard sauce on top of the salmon, and spread it evenly so that it covers the top of the salmon.
- Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. (If your sheet of foil is not large enough, place a second sheet of foil on top and fold the edges so that it forms a sealed packet.)
- Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked through. (Cooking times will vary on the thickness of your salmon.) Remove the salmon from the oven and carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed. (Be careful, hot steam will be released!) Change the oven setting to broil, then return the salmon to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes (watch closely to be sure the sauce does not burn).
To Cook on the Grill
- Carefully transfer the packet of salmon to the grill, and grill for 12-14 minutes until the salmon is almost completely cooked through (Check more often if the salmon you are grilling is thinner). Carefully open and pull back the foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
- Remove salmon from the oven or the grill. Sprinkle the top of the salmon evenly with parsley, and serve immediately.1 handful parsley, finely minced
