Step 1: In the middle of the oven., position the oven rack. Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F, or 200 degrees C. Using a piece of foil, line a baking sheet.

Step 2: Place the honey, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, oil, paprika, red pepper flakes, Cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix well until blended and set aside.

Step 3: Onto the lined baking sheet, place the salmon. Pour over the honey mustard mixture, evenly spreading it on the fish. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and cracked pepper.

Step 4: Over the salmon, fold the sides of the foil to completely cover the salmon. Seal the packet.
