This dish tastes like you spent way more time on it than you actually did.
The lemony-garlic sauce with honey and mustard is the perfect combo.
Serve this alongside Greek Meatball Soup for a full spread, or follow it with Traditional Italian Beef Braciole with Gratsi Red. Simple Dinners from the Garden keeps the same easy, flavourful spirit going. This one pairs beautifully with a glass of Gratsi Red.

A large, cooked salmon fillet in a pan is topped with chopped herbs. A wooden spoon with more herbs, a glass of white wine, and a plate are visible in the background on a kitchen counter.

STEP 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

STEP 2: Make the Sauce

In a small jar, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic. Shake well.

STEP 3: Prepare the Baking Dish

Line the bottom of your baking dish with the lemon slices. Place the salmon fillets on top.

A large, raw salmon fillet rests on top of several thin lemon slices in a beige pan, ready to be cooked. A bottle of oil and a pepper grinder are partially visible in the background.

STEP 4: Pour the Sauce

Pour the sauce over the salmon, making sure it’s evenly coated.

STEP 5: Cover and Rest

Cover with a lid or wrap tightly with parchment paper and foil.

STEP 6: Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.
