Step-by-Step Method
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.
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.
Coat the salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Spread the herb-mustard mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
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.
Rest and serve
Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with lemon wedges, a simple salad, or steamed vegetables.
