Honey Dijon Salmon

Salmon is a succulent protein option that absorbs the flavours of the marinade.  I am always on the hunt for easy salmon recipes that taste great!  Here is another great recipe to add to the collection, Honey Dijon Salmon.  I served mine with a side of steamed asparagus drizzled with a Dijon cream sauce and side of whole grain spaghetti.

• Serves: 2

• Cook time: 18-20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 fresh salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• ½ Tbsp butter or margarine

• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• ½ Tbsp honey
• ½ Tbsp soya sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400F.
2. In a microwavable container, melt butter for 20-30 seconds.
3. When  butter is melted, add brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, soya sauce and garlic.  Whisk to mix ingredients.
4. Pour sauce over salmon fillets and let sit for 10 minutes if possible.
5. Bake salmon in oven for 18-20 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
