Herbed Mustard Salmon
Hubby and I eat salmon on a fairly regular basis. We both really enjoy the flavor and it’s just so easy to prepare. We usually just season the salmon with salt and pepper and throw it in the oven to roast. Since we eat it so frequently, I’m always keeping my eye out for a new way to prepare it.
I first made this herbed mustard salmon a couple years ago. Since then, it has become a regular in our dinnertime rotation, but I just never got around to photographing it and posting it for you guys. I like to use whatever mustard we have on hand (which usually includes more than one option) and whatever herbs we have on hand. I like this combination of parsley, rosemary, and dijon the best.

ooh, i love a good brussels recipe, this one is definitely going on the top of my to-try list! and i’m totally with you on pomegranate seeds 🙂

Are pom seeds the best.
I will definitely try these. But that’s not why I wrote. I wanted to tell you that I’m proud of you for taking off time to be with your family. It may or may not have been a difficult decision. That doesn’t matter – It was the right thing to do. While you didn’t ask my permission, you didn’t need to. You have my unmitigated support.
Now go enjoy. Just remember to put your feet up now and then and if anyone volunteers, accept their offer without guilt. It will not only give you a break, you will likely have the perfect chance to bond with (and love) your helpers.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Nice recipe. Thank you. Enjoy your time off and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.
Love pomegranates, and I love Brussels Sprouts, so I can’t wait to try this recipe. My boyfriend doesn’t have the same love affair with Brussels Sprouts as I do, but I’m hoping this will help change his mind. Thanks!

This is definitely a recipe that could change the tune of a non-brussels-sprouts lover. Let me know how it goes.
It looks fantastic! thanks a lot for sharing the recipe
