Mix together mustard, honey, vinegar, black pepper, cayenne pepper and basil for the marinade. Dress salmon fillet with the marinade, making sure to coat the entire surface evenly. Let the marinade sit on salmon for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake in a 9 x 13 inch (22 x 33 cm) pan for 20 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in the centre of the thickest portion of the fillet reads 130°F (50°C), taking care to check periodically during baking.
Serve with fresh lemon wedges and garnish with fresh chopped basil, if desired.
