Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well to evenly distribute all the spices.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Grey Poupon mustard, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Carefully pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil evenly on both sides of the salmon fillets.
  4. Allow the seasoned salmon to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for 350-400°F.
  6. Once the grill is ready, place the salmon skin-side up directly on the hot grates. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  7. Gently flip the salmon using a spatula, and brush a generous layer of the honey mustard glaze over the top. Close the lid and continue to grill for another 3-4 minutes.
  8. Carefully transfer the grilled honey mustard salmon to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional lemon zest.
