Salmon is so versatile. There are many ways to cook Salmon. Salmon can be be baked, grilled, poached or pan fried. Salmon goes well with Asian based sauces. In this recipe I use a sauce made from garlic, lemon, honey and mustard, the perfect combination! The longer you marinade the better, so if you do have time do this or you can make the marinade and coat the Salmon ahead of time and leave it in the fridge until you are ready to cook.
Considered a superfood, Salmon is rich in Omega 3 Fats which is great for heart health. Salmon is also a good source of protein, essential for building and repairing muscle. This Honey Mustard Salmon recipe is one of my go to dishes and is eaten in our household at least once a week.
Serve this Honey Mustard Salmon on a bed of rice with a simple tossed green salad. It will also go well with mash potato and sauteed beans. I bet it will become a family favourite in your household too!
