Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon runny honey
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
Line a baking tray with kitchen foil and arrange the salmon fillets onto it.
To make the sauce, mix the honey and mustards into a ramekin until you get a paste.
Top each fillet with the paste, and season with salt, pepper and paprika.
Bake for 20 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.

Notes

Pat dry the salmon fillets with kitchen paper so the honey mustard sauce can stick better to them and not end up onto the tray.
It is crucial to thaw the salmon fillets first if you use frozen fish, otherwise they will be too watery while baking and the sauce will become too runny and make a real mess. Plus, that will also mess with the baking time.
There is no need to cover the salmon with foil while baking, I find that they cook well without too, plus the sauce tends to stick way better as well.
The baking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon fillets, thicker ones will more likely take longer in the oven, so just keep an eye on them.
