Tip of the Day:
Roasted Dijon Salmon
A classic combination of salmon, oil, lemon, and mustard, together with an almost foolproof roasting method, makes this a dish you'll want to prepare every week. Keep it simple (and balanced) by serving it with a crisp green salad and brown rice.
Serves 4
Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 pieces salmon filet (about 5 ounces each), with skin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh dill, to taste
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 425F. Place a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; let pan warm 2 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil to pan.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining 1 teaspoon of oil, mustard, and juice. Season salmon with salt and pepper; place in hot skillet, skin side up. Sear 1 minute. Turn salmon, spoon mustard glaze over fish, and immediately place in oven. Roast 8 minutes, or until fish is no longer red inside. Garnish with chopped dill and serve immediately.
