# How to make it:

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -

The honey mustard glaze does all the heavy lifting—your salmon tastes restaurant-quality without fussy techniques.
It's genuinely quick enough for a Tuesday night but impressive enough to serve when people come over.
The sauce is forgiving; even if you overbake it slightly, the moisture keeps everything tender.

02 -

Don't skip patting the salmon dry; moisture on the surface stops the sauce from adhering and creates steam instead of caramelization.
If your salmon is thicker than half an inch, add 2 to 3 minutes to the bake time; thin fillets cook in 15 minutes flat.
The mustard seeds in whole grain mustard can overwhelm the flavor balance if you use too much, so measure carefully.
