I think
Dijon mustard makes almost anything better, and combined with real maple syrup
and used as a glaze on salmon it is wonderful! If your salmon is fresh or thawed, this is a quick
and easy meal fit for guests or your family on a busy day.

What a great and simple idea. I have made honey-mustard salmon but never thought of this! I read your blog at least a couple of times a week. I am also a food blogger and actually don't read a lot of food blogs--but I do enjoy yours. I have many old 50s and 60s cookbooks as well and want to try your "Grape Nuts Bread" as well. Maybe I will make it to accompany the salmon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment, Chuck. Nice to hear from other food bloggers.
DeleteThis is a very simple way to prepare salmon - and the Grape Nuts bread is really very good.
I think you'll like both recipes.
