Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (smooth and mild)
5 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or cayenne powder, optional - adjust to your tastes and spice preference)
2 1/2 pund side of salmon
1 pinch salt (to season)
1 pinch cracked pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
4-5 lemon wedges (optional)

1
Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 375°F | 190°C. Line a baking tray / sheet with a large piece of foil, big enough to fold over and seal to create a packet (or 2 long pieces of foil over lapping each other lengthways to create your salmon packet, depending on the width of you fillet).
2
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, mustards, butter, garlic and lemon. Whisk until the honey has melted through the butter and the mixture is well combined.
3
Place the salmon onto lined baking tray | sheet. Pour the butter/honey mixture over the salmon, and using a pastry brush or spoon, spread evenly over the salmon. Sprinkle with a good amount of salt (about 2 teaspoons) and cracked pepper. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon to cover and completely seal the packet closed so the butter does not leak.
4
Bake until cooked through (about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish and your preference of doneness). Open the foil, being careful of any escaping steam, and grill / broil under the grill / broiler for 3-4 minutes on medium heat to caramelise the top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
