This glaze is perfect when it’s 7pm, no meal plan and my fridge is out of fresh ingredients. I crack the freezer and grab a few frozen fillets, toss them in warm water and get started with prep. I then throw some frozen veggies and rice in my rice cooker and I have a healthy meal, quick as pizza delivery.
Not fancy, just simple. You probably have all the ingredients already.
Ingredients
- olive oil (a few glugs)
- mustard (any kind, equal parts honey)
- honey (equal parts mustard)
- 3 cloves garlic
- tiny bit balsamic vinegar (about 1⁄3 of olive oil used)
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Defrost salmon
- If salmon is frozen, put it in some warm water to defrost it quickly. It’s safe so long as it’s small enough to defrost in less than 10 minutes.
Glaze
- Mix equal parts mustard & honey in a bowl. Add a few cloves of chopped garlic. Add a few glugs of olive oil. Add a bit of balsamic vinegar, about 1⁄3 of olive oil used. Season with salt & pepper, and mix.
Bake salmon
- Line baking pan in enough foil to wrap around fish. Lay salmon in the foil and cover in glaze. Wrap salmon and bake at 375 for ~20-25 minutes; you may need more or less time depending on thickness. It’s done when it flakes with a fork.
