Make the Honey Dijon Sauce
The only other ingredients you’ll need besides the salmon fillets are the ones used to make the delicious seasoning sauce. They are sea salt, chili powder, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, honey, Dijon mustard and ground black pepper.
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir well, until they are fully combined. This mixture is what you will use to bring additional flavor to the salmon.
Prepare The Salmon
Pat boneless, skinless salmon fillet dry by blotting them well using a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
The salmon I used this time were fairly thin (about ¾” thick), which means less cooking time, because thinner fillets take less time to cook through (approx. 7 minutes).
I normally use fillets that are 1″-1¾” thick, but either size is perfectly fine for this recipe, and both will yield good results if you simply keep an eye on them as they cook.
Place the fillets on parchment paper or aluminum foil and then place them on a rimmed baking sheet before seasoning the salmon.
Here’s a photo of two thicker salmon fillets. If using fillets this size (about 1″-1¾” thick) it will usually take about 8-9 minutes to fully finish cooking them through.
Add The Honey Dijon Sauce And Then Broil
Use a pastry brush to fully coat each salmon fillet with the honey Dijon sauce. Put the sauce on thick and use it all to cover the top and sides of each piece.
Turn your oven setting to BROIL. Place the baking sheet about 5″-6″ away from the heat source. Broil the salmon for 7-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets you are using.
Rotate the pan once during the broiling time to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on the salmon as it cooks, to make sure it doesn’t “overcook” and dry out. The salmon, when done, should be cooked to a safe internal temperature of 145° and should flake easily with a fork.
Serve the broiled honey Dijon salmon with some of your favorite sides and enjoy this quick and easy seafood meal!
Steamed white rice and some crisp-tender steamed asparagus were the side dishes that were enjoyed with the salmon. Both pieces are shown on the plate in the photo below. It was all quite delicious!
I hope you have the opportunity to try broiled honey Dijon salmon and trust you will enjoy it as much as we do! It is such a quick prep for a really delicious dinner.
