Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds salmon
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 5 large cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 1 tablespoon grainy dijon mustard
- Zest and juice from 1 lemon (approximately 3 tablespoons juice)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Turn your oven to broil on high, ensuring the rack is about 8 inches from the broiler. The broiler will be “red hot” when it's ready.
- To a small jar or bowl, add the avocado oil, minced garlic, honey, capers, mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Place a piece of parchment in an oven-proof dish, ensuring that the sides are trimmed down and greased so they won’t catch fire under the broiler. This is optional, but makes cleanup so much easier!
- Place the salmon in the oven-proof dish and pour the sauce over top.
- Broil the salmon for 8 minutes, watching to ensure it isn’t cooking too fast.
- Serve over a bed of arugula and optional grain of choice. Spoon any remaining pan drippings over the top of the fish and rice. ENJOY!
