  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Notes

  • sockeye salmon is my favorite, but use any variety of salmon you prefer
  • if you don't have herb and garlic seasoning, you can simply season with salt and pepper. Cajun seasoning would be delicious if you want to add some spice.
  • it's easiest to remove skin after salmon has cooked, it will simply pull off
  • leftovers can be stored in fridge up to 3 days
  • honey mustard sauce can be made in advance and stored in fridge up to 3 days
