Lightly season the salmon fillets with a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked pepper. Preheat your grill or grill pan on high until it reaches a hot temperature. Once hot, lightly coat the pan with oil and lower the heat to medium-low. Carefully position the salmon on the heated grill pan and allow it to cook undisturbed for 5 minutes.

Flip the salmon to the other side and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, while drizzling half of the garlic herb mustard mixture over the top.

Flip the salmon again and cook for an additional minute, applying the remaining sauce to the other side of the fish. Turn it once more and let it cook for about another minute to finish.
