Recipe FAQs

What type of mustard is used in the glaze?

The glaze combines both Dijon and whole grain mustards to create a rich, tangy flavor and appealing texture.

How can I ensure the salmon stays moist while broiling?

Pat the fillets dry before glazing, then broil just until opaque and flaky. Avoid overcooking to retain moisture.

Can I marinate the salmon before cooking?

Yes, marinating the fillets in the honey mustard glaze for 10–15 minutes adds depth without extra effort.

What sides complement this salmon dish?

Steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad pair nicely, balancing the savory-sweet glaze flavors.

Is there an alternative to honey in the glaze?

Maple syrup works well as a substitute, providing a different sweetness profile while maintaining balance.
