The Southern husband and I are currently in our post-holiday Only Eat The Healthy Things time of the year, but eating healthy does not mean eating boring. And that is where this scrumptious, super-fast, super easy recipe for mustard lime roasted salmon comes in. Only 6 ingredients, about 5 minutes of prep time, 15 minutes in the oven and then you are sitting down to a fast and fabulous seafood supper. Ready to jump on the healthy eating train with us? Let’s make it!
Among other reasons for eating healthy at this particular moment in time is that as I may have mentioned a couple thousand times or so, we have a wedding coming up. And our wedding duds are all lined up, and we need to fit into them by the time March rolls around. I’ve had my dress for a while now, but the Southern husband just got fitted for his tux this past weekend.
Is he a handsome devil or what?
Anyway, I am all about keeping us on the straight and narrow after this past season of chocolate and cheese, and this salmon recipe is part of my strategic plan. You want a nice boneless salmon filet, which you are going to slather with a mixture of sour cream and mustard. Roast it up for about 15 minutes, give it another slather of a mustard and lime juice mixture, and you are done!
I like to pull it apart into chunks and scatter some chives on top, and we have been known to eat it right off of the pan. Leaving us exactly zero dishes to wash at the end of the evening. I know, it just keeps getting better and better!
