Not for the first time, we each had our yearly physical in the same week and not for the first time we were told approximately the same thing, probably much like what you’ve all been advised as well: get more sleep, eat more fruits and vegetables, meditate, and incorporate more seafood into our diet.
We figure the meditation will help with the sleep (count backwards from 100 or picture a snow globe to quiet your thoughts); the veggies are blossoming in the garden so now we just have to actually get them inside the house and into us (spinach and kale in a smoothie with pineapple is do-able); and the increase in fish will be easier if we have a recipe like this one. It’s quick and delicious, with a brown sugar and mustard coating that will make us forget we’re doing something good for our bodies!
See you at the gym….Or the ashram.
- 4 salmon fillets
- ¼ cup whole grain coarse Dijon mustard
- 1 cup brown sugar (or alternatively, maple syrup, honey, or agave)
- salt and pepper
- Preheat broiler to high.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on each piece of salmon.
- Mix mustard and brown sugar in a small bowl until it forms a paste.
- Put the salmon fillets on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper (no need to oil the pan or the fish).
- Slather the paste onto the salmon pieces... be generous here!
- Broil for about 12 minutes. The top should be perfectly glazed (but not burned!)
Like this simple recipe! I will try it instead of my usual honey mustard concoction. Also, I used the “brisket king of New York’s” BBQ rub on a brisket I made for Passover. It has lots more ingredients, but an equal ratio of spice to brown sugar as this recipe. Spicy and delicious!
We’ll have to check out that Brisket King recipe… sounds a little like the BBQ coffee one on our earlier blog from Aunt Joan… have you tried it?
You are so right…..same advice and each time I promise to do these things. You just gave me a little push that I need ….❤️
Can’t wait to try the salmon recipe.
We all need that push sometimes! Let us know how you’re doing, Nancy! “Ommm”
I normally don’t eat much salmon but made this way it was delicious… the perfect amount of spiciness and sweetness. Good enough to get me to comment here, which I also don’t normally do!
Way to go, Blog Husband Steve! I’m going to point out to my husband that YOU actually READ your wife’s blog….and also that you recommend the salmon. I can’t imagine that she makes anything that’s not delish but it’s nice to know when you hit one out of the ballpark.
Very cute, Chris! Blog husband says yes, he is the perfect husband. Unquote.
