Back to Simple – Dijon Garlic Salmon

Posted on by

After the abundance and indulgence of food over Thanksgiving, now seems like a really good time for a simple and healthy fish recipe. And this is a great tasting one!

A seasoned mustard sauce is slathered on salmon fillets, and baked for 20 minutes. It does not get much easier than that. Put together a side dish or two while the fish bakes, and dinner is ready! This is just the type of recipe I want to prepare and savor after the flurry of cooking and eating rich holiday meals.
