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.

More tips for making mustard Lime Roasted Salmon!
I know, so many choices at that seafood counter! Experts tend to agree that wild caught salmon is the best nutritional choice, because those salmon eat a more natural diet. However, you are mostly going to find farmed salmon, which is a perfectly find back-up choice. Salmon is a good and good for you power food!
You bet! I like both fresh oregano and fresh thyme for this recipe – you could also use chopped scallions.
You 100% can if you want to – it is actually full of good nutrients – but some folks (raises hand) don’t like the texture. So, totally up to you!
I like to pull the roasted salmon apart into chunks when it is cooked (although serving it whole is a-ok too!) 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!
