Salmon with Herbed Mustard Sauce

Wild Alaskan salmon is one of the most nutritious foods available. It is a fish that is full of the essential omega-3 fatty acids that our body needs. I wrote an article in Bella Magazine that gives a lot of information about fats. I also have more information about fats in this article on my site.
Salmon is packed with protein, vitamins B-12 and D as well as many other micronutrients. But I recommend using only wild caught, preferably Alaskan, when you cook. Many farm-raised fish are grown in less than healthy conditions and can even have toxins in them due to their growing conditions.
This recipe makes a delicious and nutritious main entree that can be on the table in 30 minutes or less. Add one or two vegetables plus a serving of quinoa for a well rounded dinner for your family.
Salmon with Herbed Mustard Sauce
Serves 4
1 lb. salmon cut into 4 fillets
4 Tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup stone-ground mustard mustard
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon dried basil
Heat broiler in oven. Rinse salmon and pat dry with paper towels. Place fish on broiler pan and drizzle 2 tablespoons lemon juice over all. Season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile in a bowl, stir together the mustard, remaining lemon juice, olive oil, dill and basil. Top the fish pieces with the sauce. Broil until fish is just cooked, about 10-15 minutes.
Spoon the remaining sauce over the cooked salmon to serve.
