Spiced Salmon with Mustard Sauce

Mihir and make every effort to maintain a healthy, balanced diet. We eat organic food when we can. Our main source of protein is plant-based, mostly beans and lentils. We never eat red meat, just the occasional chicken and white fish. Lately, however, I've made a concerted effort to incorporate salmon into our diet because it contains omega-3 fats, a valuable nutrient. This isn't always an easy task. We very much prefer milder-tasting fish, such as tilapia or mahi mahi, so it takes come great recipes to mask the strong salmon. Well, I think I found a winning recipe. I was planning to make salmon for dinner last night, and this recipe literally came to my email just as I was about to surf the Internet for something quick, easy, healthy, and tasty. I get daily recipes from this website and, lo and behold, there it was when I needed it most. And it was great! Last night we feasted on spiced salmon with mustard sauce, wilted spinach with tomatoes, and couscous. Here's the salmon recipe:

Ingredients
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Cooking spray

Preheat broiler.

Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well with a fork. Rub mustard mixture evenly over each fillet. Place fillets, skin-side down, on a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray. Broil 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

That's it! It's that easy! It's a 15 minute meal. Note on the ingredients: I only prepared two 6-ounce fillets, and the mustard mixture was just about enough to coat them evenly. My fish turned out looking exactly the the photo above. For the mustard, I used Grey Poupon harvest coarse ground. It has whole mustard seeds in it, which I think is essential for flavor and texture.
