How to bake salmon fillets in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. It is better to take fresh fish. But frozen will do too. In this case, defrost the salmon on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Do not defrost to the end, so it will be easier to clean and cut on the fillet.

If you have a whole fish, clear it of scales, remove the fins and head, gut it. Along the ridge, cut the carcass to the spine. Turn over on a barrel. Cut the meat from the ridge bone with a sharp knife. Turn the carcass to the other side and cut the fillet on the other side. Remove the skin from the fillet with a knife. Rinse under a stream of water and wet with paper towels. Turn on the oven 200 degrees in advance.

Make the honey and mustard sauce. In a bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, finely chopped spring onions. Season the sauce with garlic passed through the press and salt to taste. Mix everything well until smooth.

Cut salmon fillet into medium-sized portions.

Cover the heat-resistant mould with oiled parchment paper. Put fish slices on it.

With a culinary silicone brush, brush the salmon fillet well on top with the cooked sauce.

Bake the fish for about 10-12 minutes in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Fish will have enough time, the main thing is not to dry it out.

Spread the finished fillet onto plates and pour over the same sauce before serving. The dish is quite self-sufficient, but you can make a side dish of boiled rice or potatoes. Additionally, you can serve lemon cut into wedges. Lemon juice will soften the sweetness of the sauce. Serve the dish immediately hot. It is very tasty and chilled, infused in the same sauce. Enjoy your meal!
