Ingredients

2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 sprigs thyme (leaves removed)
2 salmon fillets (about 4-5 ounces (110-150g) each)
oil
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 390F / 200c.
In a small bowl, mix together the chopped garlic, honey, mustard and thyme sprigs.
With your hands, rub a little oil all over the salmon fillets, season both sides with salt and pepper and place in an oven proof skillet or on a baking sheet.
Brush the honey mustard glaze on both sides of the salmon.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fillets) until cooked through.

Notes

Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillet.
I cooked the salmon in an oven proof skillet, but you can use a baking sheet lined with foil if you prefer.
Oil the salmon fillets all over as this will help to protect them from the heat.
