Honey-Peppered Salmon

In our house there is always salmon!  Either caught by the master fisherman (Greg) or I'll go get some at the fish market. I'm always looking for a good recipe to use for this wonderful catch!  This is one of our favorite ways to serve it. Especially when it's winter and you can't cook on the outdoor grill! 

Honey -Peppered Salmon



1/4 cup olive oil

2 Tbs honey

2 Tbs Dijon mustard

3-5 cloves of garlic,  peeled and minced

2 tsp cayenne

1/2 tsp ground coriander

2 Tbs lemon juice

salt and pepper to taste

1 pound of salmon fillet, deboned

Combine the olive oil, honey, mustard, garlic, cayenne, coriander, lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a shallow dish.  Mix well.  Add salmon and coat both sides with the sauce.  Let marinate for 30 min at room temp.  Place the salmon in a greased baking dish or you can put the whole dish with the marinade and salmon in the oven if you like more sauce with your fish.  Bake at 350 for 6-7 min per side.  Let rest for 5 min.  Serve with a salad, steamed asperagus, and bread!  Enjoy!
