Slow Roasted Mustard Salmon
Servings
6
Prep Time
15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 fennel bulb (sliced into rings, fronds reserved for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (plus additional to finish)
- One 4-pound skin-on fillet of salmon (pin bones removed)
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
- 3 teaspoon fennel seeds (toasted and crushed)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds (toasted and crushed)
Instructions
- This recipe originally appeared on Giada's Holiday Handbook. Episode: Name That Holiday Tune Party.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Place the slices of fennel in the middle of a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Place the fillet of salmon skin-side down on top of the bed of fennel and sprinkle it with the salt. Spread the mustard evenly over the top of the salmon and sprinkle with the fennel and coriander seeds. Press gently to help the seeds adhere.
- Roast until a fork inserts easily in the thickest part of the fish and the flesh flakes, approximately 1 hour. Remove the salmon to a platter. Sprinkle with the fennel fronds and drizzle with olive oil.

Hi, I was wondering if this method creates a 'fishy' smell in the kitchen? I normally grill salmon outside on the gas grill because of the possibility of wafting aromas? However, where we live, it is cold and damp in the winter. We keep the grill under a covered area, but it's awfully difficult to be persuaded to cook outside in these conditions!
I made this for our Christmas Eve dinner and it was a huge hit. We all loved it and there was nothing left. I did juice a lemon and added that to the Salmon before coating with the mustard. Otherwise exactly as written. Definitely will make this again.
Can this be served cold or at room temp? I am having guest over on Christmas eve and want to know it it will be ok just left on the table for an hour or two. Thanks.
