Steps:
- To cook in the oven, heat the oven to 375 degrees F and position a rack in the middle. To grill, heat a gas grill to medium high (about 400 degrees F).
- Pat the salmon fillet dry. Season with salt on both sides.
- Prepare the honey mustard sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey mustard sauce ingredients (whole grain mustard, honey, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne and black pepper).
- To Bake. Place the salmon on a lightly oiled sheet pan or baking dish (if using salmon with skin on, place the salmon skin side down in the dish). Spread the honey mustard sauce evenly over the surface of the salmon. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes.
- To grill. Place the salmon (already seasoned with salt) on a large, lightly oiled piece of aluminum foil. Spread the honey mustard sauce on top of the salmon. Fold both sides of the foil over the salmon and tightly close it at the top. Place on a medium-high gas grill. Cover and let cook for about 10 to 12 minutes (grill time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon, begin to check earlier in the process). Open the top of the foil up so the fish is exposed (lots of hot steam with be released, so be careful). Continue cooking about 3 minutes or so on the grill.
- To serve. Remove from the heat. Squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!

THE BEST HONEY-GLAZED SALMON
This is the easiest, most flavorful honey-baked salmon that the whole family will be able to enjoy. It comes together in 30 minutes and only requires eight ingredients. Oh, and that honey-lime drizzle at the end is to die for - no one will judge you for slurping it down! Baking the salmon at a high heat not only quickens the cooking time, but also helps to crisp up the honey glaze and spice mixture that coats the fish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray if you plan on eating the salmon skin. (If you do not plan on eating the skin, you can skip this step.) Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk together the honey, lime zest, and juice in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture to another small bowl and set aside. Brush the remaining honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon fillets.
- Combine the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon (about 1 heaping teaspoon on each portion). Crimp all 4 sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon to help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the glaze is shiny and turning golden in some spots, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Drizzle the reserved honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon just before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is firm and has a bright orange color. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often raised in crowded conditions and fed an unnatural diet.
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. The best way to cook salmon is to sear it in a hot skillet until the skin is crispy and the flesh is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
- Make sure the honey dressing is well-balanced. The honey dressing is a key component of this dish, so it is important to make sure it is well-balanced. The dressing should be sweet, tangy, and slightly salty. If the dressing is too sweet, it will overpower the salmon. If the dressing is too tangy, it will be too acidic. And if the dressing is too salty, it will be unpalatable.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the salmon is at its best flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
This seared salmon with heather honey dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the honey dressing is the perfect complement to the fish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
