SALMON IN HONEY MUSTARD GARLIC SAUCE








SALMON IN HONEY MUSTARD GARLIC SAUCE

A little savory, a little salty, a little sour and a little sweet – the perfect flavors for a beautiful salmon. This is my top favorite way to prepare a whole salmon.  Delicious!

2.6 lbs fresh whole salmon (1.2 kg)
2 tsp salt (10 mL)
1/2 tsp black pepper (2 mL)
Honey Mustard Sauce:
3 tbsp butter (45 mL)
2 tsp crushed garlic (10 mL)
3 tbsp sugar-free honey substitute (45 mL)
  (check Walmart or Amazon online)
2 tsp mustard (10 mL)
1 tsp lemon juice (5 mL)
1 tsp dried parsley (5 mL)

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.  Spray baking tray with nonstick cooking spray to help the parchment stick.

In nonstick frying pan, stir-fry garlic in butter until turning golden.  Remove from heat and stir in honey, mustard, lemon juice and parsley.  Using a pastry brush spread the mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.  Bake salmon uncovered about 18 minutes, or until tender.
