Honey-mustard salmon, baked in the oven is a quick and easy supper. Serve with roasted potatoes and a dollop of crème fraîche and fresh dill.

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (skin on)
• 2 TBS honey
• 2 TBS mustard (yellow or Dijon)
• Olive the Best Koroneiki EVOO

Seasonings (pre-mix these so you can season as you go!)

• 1 TSPN cumin
• 1 TSPN dill
• 1 TSPN Olive the Best Herbs de provence
• ½ TSPN celery salt
• Salt & Pepper
• 1 lemon

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the salmon and pat dry. Feel for any tiny bones and remove.
2. To a small bowl add the mustard and honey. Give it a quick stir.
3. Beginning with skin side up, drizzle with Olive the Best Koroneiki Extra Virgin olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Brush a little of the honey-mustard mixture over the top and season with ½ of the pre-mixed herbs & spices.
4. Turn the fillets over and place them in a Pyrex baking dish. Drizzle with EVOO, season with salt and pepper. Brush a little of the honey-mustard mixture over the top and season with the rest of the herbs and spices. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top, cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and broil on low for 5 minutes. Salmon is done when firm to the touch. (Reserve the other half of the lemon for garnish.)
