Here's my all-time favorite salmon recipe, adapted from the Seasons52 one. I don't even like mustard but this is so delicious that I make it at least once a week.

Baked Salmon
Ingredients:
fresh salmon filets (6 to 8 ounces per piece, boneless, skinless)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons malt vinegar
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 lemon, zest and juice
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (plus some for planks)

Directions:
Dump all ingredients in a gallon size ziploc and mix well. Marinate in fridge for an hour.
Place fish filets on large piece of tinfoil and fold edges of foil up. Close foil over top, in a tent form, with room between fish and top (like a teepee for the fish!)
Cook on 475 for 15-20 minutes. Cook time will depend on size of filets.
