- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 1/2 Tbsp honey, and 1 tsp minced garlic until smooth. (If your butter is not already melted, melt it first.)

- Lay the salmon fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, spaced evenly apart.
- Brush the butter–mustard mixture evenly over the top and sides of each fillet.
- Lightly season the tops of the fillets with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–13 minutes, until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
- Sprinkle with 2 tsp minced fresh parsley, if using, and serve immediately.

*Check interior of salmon doneness, by taking a sharp knife to check into the center of the thickest part. If the salmon is beginning to flake, but still has a little translucency in the middle, it's done.
