Honey Mustard Baked Salmon

Ingredients:
2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
2 TBSP honey
2 TBSP Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon zest
*2 garlic cloves - minced (optional)
4 -5oz salmon filets
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a small casserole dish, combine the lemon juice, honey, mustard, zest and *garlic. Season both sides of salmon generously with salt and pepper and place in casserole - flipping to coat evenly with glaze.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until salmon is fork tender. Halfway through cooking I spooned glaze from the bottom of the casserole over filets.
