This Honey Dijon Baked Salmon combines the bold punch of Dijon mustard with the deep floral sweetness of Manuka honey, gently warmed to preserve its natural benefits. Pickled mustard seeds add pop and tang, while a finishing touch of dill and edible flowers make it feel as special as it tastes.

Ingredients
  

For the salmon:
  • 4-6 oz salmon filet
  • 2 tablespoon Manukora Manuka honey
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon pickled mustard seeds
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Flaky salt to finish
For serving:
  • Mixed greens
  • Fresh dill
  • Edible flowers

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Instant-read thermometer (optional but ideal)
  • Brush or spoon
  • Sheet tray or baking dish
  • Fish Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a small sauce pot over low heat, combine the Manuka honey and Dijon mustard. Stir gently, keeping the temperature below 100°F to preserve the honey's natural benefits.
  3. Season the salmon filet with kosher salt.
  4. Brush the top with a layer of the honey-Dijon mixture, then transfer to a lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. While the salmon cooks, stir the pickled mustard seeds into the remaining honey-Dijon sauce, again keeping the heat low.
  7. Plate the salmon over a bed of greens. Spoon additional honey-mustard sauce over top.
  8. Finish with flaky salt, dill fronds, and edible flowers. Serve immediately.
