Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, and olive oil. Brush the mustard glaze over the top of the salmon fillets.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Line the baking sheet. You must line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Even if you spray the sheet pan with cooking spray the fish will likely stick.
Handle with care. Salmon filets are delicate and the flesh breaks easily, so be careful when handling them and brushing them with the glaze mixture.
The oven must be hot. Food doesn't cook evenly when it’s put into an oven that is still preheating. This is why you need to wait until your oven is done preheating before baking.
You can store leftover baked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
