Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh salmon filet
• 2 1/2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons scallions, diced

Here's how to make it:

1. Place the salmon filet, skin side down, in a casserole dish or baking pan (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easier cleanup). Season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste, if desired.
2. In a small mixing bowl or large measuring cup, add the mustard and honey. Stir to combine. Give it a taste to see if you'd like to add any more honey or mustard to get the flavor balance that's right for your palate.
3. Add the scallions and stir to combine.
4. Spread the mixture over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly distributed. (You can reserve a small amount to drizzle over the salmon after it's done baking.)
5. Bake the salmon in a preheated 375-degree F oven for about 15 minutes, or until desired doneness. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on a food thermometer.
6. Remove from oven and serve with your favorite vegetables or side dishes. Drizzle the reserved sauce over the salmon and/or garnish with additional diced scallions, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.
