Baked Salmon with Grainy Mustard, Parsley and Sliced Shallots

Baked Salmon with Grainy Mustard

When I’m hungry I don’t have time to make elaborate dishes.

I like simple, flavorful foods enhanced with herbs and freshly squeezed lemon or elements that bring out the food’s natural flavors – and it’s nice to know that the food I’m eating has major health benefits as well as being a tasty way to satisfy my appetite!

My Favorite Fish…

Wild-caught Alaskan salmon is high in vitamin D, vitamin B12 and protein and is an excellent source of healthy Omega-3’s.

It bakes easily and retains its moisture well. Additionally, parsley is high in vitamin K and vitamin C, an excellent source of folic acid (one of the most important B-vitamins) and contains particular flavenoids that function as beneficial antioxidants.

You will need: A baking sheet, olive oil or coconut oil (spray or regular), knife and cutting board
