Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F with the rack in the center.
  2. In a medium bowl combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and dijon mustard. Mix well.
  3. Place salmon fillets into the skillet, pour the mixture over salmon fillets and rub. Season with ground black pepper and salt. Bake for 10-15 minutes in the preheated oven.
