Salmon is easy

My love of salmon is a semi-recent one; I did not start eating it until about5 years ago. It was a treat to make it while I was in school since it isn't as inexpensive as ground turkey or meatless dishes. I was thrilled when my husband told me to buy whatever I want at the grocery store to make whatever makes my heart happy. One of the first meals I made for him was this mustard roasted salmon.

Ingredient

• 1 1/4 pound wild salmon, skin removed, cut into 4 pieces
• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Directions

Preheat oven to 400-degrees Fahrenheit. Place salmon pieces ona sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper; roast for 8 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine mustard, maple syrup, garlic and lemon juice. After the 8 minutes of cooking, brush salmon with mixture and return to the oven for 3 minutes or until salmon is just cooked through.

My Edits: I've just made a few edits to this recipe and those were to the baking times. The original recipe over cooks the salmon. Other than that the recipe is quick, easy, and pretty tasty. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I was pleasantly surprised!
