Rima's Salmon Fillets
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets or other firm fish, like halibut or orange roughy
1/3 cup mayonnaise – Light or extra-light works just fine
2 tbsp grainy mustard or Dijon or other sharp mustard
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp chili powder or paprika
Pinch of ground white pepper or cayenne – optional
For sauce:
Juice of ½ small lemon (more or less, depending on taste)
No need for extra salt because of mustard
Preparation
Preheat oven at 425ºF
Place fillets on foil-lined baking sheet.
Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, honey, water, and spices
(I always forget this step, so it’s in bold here)
Remove 1/4 cup for sauce and stir in lemon juice; set aside.
Brush or spoon remaining mixture over salmon.
Bake in preheated oven 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork (check after 10).
Serve with reserved sauce. Tastes great with rice and a salad.
