Mustard Herb Salmon

An extremely appetizing and easy salmon recipe that will definitely make a frequent appearance on your dinner table.

It has been a while since I posted a new recipe. Truth be told, I am a creature of habit and very often, I make the same recipes over and over again for my family. Fortunately, everyone at home enjoys these dishes and are not complaining. However, when I do throw in a new recipe, it is definitely appreciated.

With the end of Chinese New Year celebrations and all the indulgent feasting over, we are definitely ready to go back to a more healthy and wholesome diet. This broiled salmon is a perfect week night dinner dish. The sweet and tangy flavors paired with the rich and buttery texture of salmon makes it great meal that is full of good fats. And not to mention the simplicity and ease of this recipe.
