Step-by-Step Method

5-step method
01

Preheat the oven

Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a little olive oil.

02

Mix the herb mustard topping

In a small bowl, stir together Dijon mustard, parsley, oregano, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and mix again.

03

Coat the salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Spread the herb-mustard mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.

04

Bake

Place the salmon on the tray and bake for 12–15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork. If your fillets are thick, add 1–2 extra minutes.

05

Rest and serve

Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with lemon wedges, a simple salad, or steamed vegetables.
