Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 6- to 7-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Lay the salmon skin-side down on top. Set aside.
- Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, chives and a pinch each of salt and white pepper in a medium bowl and stir to thoroughly combine. Remove half of the sauce to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Season the salmon with salt and white pepper and spoon the remaining sauce over the fish, spreading it evenly all over the top and sides of each fillet.
- Roast just until the fish is opaque in the center, about 7 minutes. Switch to the broiler setting. Broil the fish until browning in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. (Keep your eye on it to avoid burning.) Garnish with chives and serve with the reserved sauce.
