Ingredients

30 g Dijon mustard none
25 g honey none
10 ml olive oil divided
15 ml lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 cloves garlic finely grated
2 g smoked paprika none
2 g kosher salt divided
1 g black pepper freshly ground
450 g salmon fillet skin removed if present, cut into 3 cm bites
5 ml olive oil divided
2 g kosher salt divided
120 g mixed greens rinsed and dried
4 g fresh dill chopped, plus more for garnish

Instructions

Heat the oven to 220 C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, 10 ml olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic, smoked paprika, 2 g salt, and black pepper. The glaze is smooth and glossy.
Pat the salmon dry and toss the bites with the glaze until evenly coated. Arrange them on the lined sheet in a single layer, leaving space between pieces. Drizzle the remaining 5 ml olive oil over the parchment or lightly over the fish, and sprinkle with the remaining 2 g salt. Each piece is coated and spaced apart on the tray.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the salmon is opaque at the edges, flakes easily, and reaches 52 to 55 C in the center for moist, just-cooked salmon. If you want a slightly deeper glaze, broil for 30 to 60 seconds at the end, watching closely. The salmon flakes easily and the glaze looks set and lightly caramelized.
Transfer the salmon bites to a serving platter over the mixed greens. Scatter with chopped dill if using, and serve immediately while warm. The platter is ready with warm salmon over fresh greens.
