Serves 4

Ingredients:

savory salmon

  • 4 salmon steaks (4-6 oz)
  • 4 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 cup chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Useful kitchen tools:

  • A good non stick baking pan:
  • Sharp filet knife

  • Pair this salmon with sparkling water

Directions:

1. First, prepare the marinade by mixing the mustard, olive oil, honey, lemon and fresh dill. Be sure to reserve a little fresh dill for garnish.

2. Next, rinse the salmon and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

3. Then, marinate the salmon in the honey-mustard-dill mixture for 15 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium to low heat. Place salmon in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through (salmon center will turn a pale pink color)

5. Finally, garnish with the remaining fresh dill. Squeeze a little more lemon for extra freshness. Serve over young potatoes or rice.  Prepared as described, each salmon steak contains approximately 400 calories.

Oven Method

I actually make this savory salmon in the oven more often. Instead of cooking it in a skillet, simply bake it at 375°F for 20 minutes.
