When I find a salmon recipe I like, it’s fun to try variations of the recipe to see if I can find a way to like it even more. That’s exactly what happened when I made this easy honey orange Dijon .
------Advertisement-----
Instead of using my old standby, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, I tried fresh-squeezed orange juice. The result? A bright, sweet, citrusy salmon recipe that’s positively drool-worthy!
I like this honey orange even more than the honey lemon version, and that’s saying a lot. The sweetness of honey combines with the bright citrus notes of orange juice and the distinct flavor of Dijon mustard to create an irresistibly moist and savory dinner that you will crave. Bonus: it’s ready in only about 20 minutes!

Here’s your simple shopping list for this seafood : fresh salmon, honey, fresh-squeezed orange juice and Dijon mustard. That’s it! You prepare the sauce then spoon it over the salmon in a baking dish. You bake the salmon for about 15 minutes then serve it with your favorite . It doesn’t get much easier than that!
I served this salmon for dinner with a side of fresh for a , low-calorie, low-carb meal. But, it would be equally happy served over your favorite or pasta. It looks impressive but it’s easy enough to make anytime you get the craving!

Recipe Notes
- I squeezed my own fresh orange juice, but you can use bottled fresh-squeezed orange juice in a pinch.
- Feel free to use more or less Dijon mustard, depending on your tastes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Any leftover salmon tastes great in this easy .
Here’s how to make it:
- Place the salmon filet in a casserole dish or baking pan (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easier cleanup). Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, add the honey, orange juice and mustard. Stir to combine and create the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the salmon, ensuring the salmon is covered in the sauce.
- Bake the salmon at 375 degrees F for about 15 minutes, or until desired doneness. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on a food thermometer.
- Remove from oven and serve with your favorite vegetables or side dishes.
