RECIPE BY Cooking Light

A bed of fragrant fresh thyme lends wonderful flavor to the fish. Have your fishmonger remove the pin bones from the fillet, and choose one cut toward the head end of the fish.

Ingredients

  • 10 thyme sprigs
  • 1 (3-pound) skin-on salmon fillet (preferably sustainable), pin bones removed
  • 1/4 cup country Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Made this for a dinner party and it was a hit. Very easy to prepare and the honey mustard is delicious.

This was so easy and delicious. Very simple and the nice thing was I baked it to the doneness that I like. I made the fennel and shaved asparagus salad to go with it. Great pairing! 

Pretty but not very tasty

This recipe looks beautiful, however, it is not as good as a simple oil and lemon salmon. Our full review with pictures can be seen here: http://www.nickandalonakitchen.com/2016/03/roasted-salmon-with-thyme-and-honey.html

I cut this recipe down to serve 2 using a 1 pound filet.  The fish came out perfectly cooked.  I did grill the filet on our Traeger using a grill pan.  Loved the flavors in the sauce here.  I would serve this to guests in a heartbeat because of how easy it was and how delicious it turned out.
