My husband’s favorite condiment is honey mustard. He would eat it on everything if he could! Sandwiches, chicken nuggets, even his ice cream. Okay maybe not his dessert, but he does love it a lot!
As a part of my Summer of Salmon series, I thought I would indulge him in a Honey Dijon Glazed Salmon! He grew up on this dish. I love the combination of sweet and savory on my salmon, such as in my Chili Crisp Honey Salmon.

Ingredients
- Salmon: The star of the dish, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, glazed with all the flavorful sauce.
- Carrots: Peeled and ready to roast in the honey dijon sauce.
- Onions: Sliced, roasted, and served on the side.
- Olive Oil: Used for roasting the vegetables and in the honey dijon glaze.
- Lemon Zest: Provides a fresh, citrusy note.
- Spices: I add salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Dijon Mustard: Gives a tangy kick to the glaze, and most of the mustard flavor.
- Whole Grain Mustard: Adds texture and a milder mustard flavor, as well as a nice visual element.
- Honey: Balances the tanginess of the mustard with sweetness, core to honey dijon mustard.
- Parsley: We sprinkle some on at the end for freshness.
- Israeli Couscous: Also called Pearled Couscous. Feel free to use rice or Moroccan couscous instead. I sometimes will add spices as I cook the couscous. Check out my Roasted Summer Vegetable Couscous recipe too!

Instructions for Honey Dijon Mustard Glazed Salmon
I love a one-pan dinner! Technically…. the couscous is prepared in a separate pot. But that’s just a side and really you could serve the honey dijon glazed salmon on its own, over a salad, or a grain that has already been cooked.
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Make the glaze by whisking together ingredients.
- Roast Vegetables: Spread the peeled and chopped carrots and the sliced onions evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Toss about half the honey dijon mustard glaze over the vegetables. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they begin to soften and caramelize.
- Cook the Couscous: This is a great time to cook the grain you will serve with!
- Roast Salmon: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to create space in the center for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and brush them with the remaining honey dijon glaze. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve: Plate the cooked couscous, then top with the roasted salmon, carrots, and onions. Drizzle with any remaining honey dijon glaze or a bit of extra honey if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Substitutions and Variations
- Grain – While this recipe calls for Israeli couscous, you can really serve this with any grain! Farro, rice, or Moroccan couscous would all be wonderful.
- Vegetables – Feel free to swap the carrots and onion with other veggies of choice, but be sure you are timing the cooking correctly.
- Spice – Traditionally, honey mustard is not spicy. But, I think this recipe would be lovely with some added heat! Up to you 🙂
Why you’ll love this Honey Dijon Glazed Salmon recipe:
- One-pan. This recipe comes together easily in one pan and you don’t even need to change the oven temperature. There’s also just one sauce to glaze the veggies and the salmon!
- Nutritious and delicious. Nothing better for a weeknight dinner!
- Easy to serve. This recipe calls for serving with couscous but really you can serve any way you’d like! Make this low-carb and serve with a salad or more roasted veggies.
- Great for picky eaters. I find that even the most picky eaters like honey dijon mustard! Maybe because it masks the taste of anything it glazes.
Storage
Store the honey dijon glazed salmon in the fridge for up to four days.
