Very easy to prepare! My new favorite salmon recipe (and I'm picky about how salmon is prepared)! I actually cut the olive oil in half, to 1/4 cup. I mixed the dill right in with the other ingredients. Also, added the juice of 1 lemon. Used a 2.5lb fillet from Sam's that I cut into 2 large pieces and placed on a foil-lined sheet pan. Poured half of the marinade over the fish, flipped the pieces over and covered with other half of marinade... refrigerated for a couple hours then baked for 17 minutes at 350. Perfection!

This was just wonderful! My picky thirteen year old was the first to say "WOW! This is good!" I might try it with a little dash of lime next time!

I wish I could have given this more stars because I think it does have potential. I have made this recipe twice. The first time I made as written and marinated for about 4 hours. I couldn't really taste the marinade at all but the salmon was quite tender and moist. The second time I reduced the oil by half and added 1/8 c.lemon for a bit of tang. This time I marinated the salmon for 12 hours but I still couldn't taste the dijon and only a slight taste of honey came through. I might reduce the oil even more and increase the marinade time to 24 hours. Hopefully I can make it work so that it is more flavourful!

I am going to try this again. I didn't have fresh dill so I used dried. I also didn't use the total amount of honey b/c I am watching sugar but I think next time I will try it as written!
