In the summer, I am all about easy, quick weeknight dinners. For one, it’s far too hot to spend time hovering over the stove or oven, and two, I’d rather maximize my time outside, soaking up every minute of these long days. That’s why I love this Caramelized Mustard Salmon recipe. It’s healthy, requires just five ingredients, and takes under 15 minutes to make!

A 15-Minute Meal that’s perfect when cooking for two!

For convenience purposes, it’s absolutely fine to use good-quality frozen wild salmon for this recipe. To defrost your salmon, just place the frozen fillets in a large bowl of cold water and allow them to defrost on the counter.

The glaze on this Caramelized Mustard Salmon is what makes this recipe so special. It’s sweet and tangy at the same time, and may just have the power to convert a non-salmon lover.

The salmon is baked in the oven (which makes clean up a breeze!), and at the very end it’s put under the broiler to get the glaze bubbling and create that perfect caramelized texture and taste.

Serve this salmon with just about any side dish. Even simply steamed green beans or broccoli pair perfectly. It’s an easy meal that’s delicious and it’s absolutely perfect for a date night in. Enjoy!
