Baked Salmon Fillets Dijon

Baked Salmon Fillets Dijon

    •    4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
    •    3 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard
    •    salt and pepper to taste
    •    2/3 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
    •    1/4 cup butter, melted

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil.
    Place salmon skin-side down on foil. Spread a thin layer of mustard on the top of each fillet, and season with salt and pepper. Melt butter then mix with bread crumbs.  Top salmon with butter/bread crumb mixture.
    Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and is no longer bright pink inside.  Serve over rice. 

Crazy for Berries Salad
inspiration from Zupas Nuts about Berries Salad

1/2  cup raspberries
1/2 blackberries
1/2 chopped strawberries
1/2 blueberries (we didn't have those on hand)
1-2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 romaine heart, chopped
2 tbsp chopped walnuts
1/8-1/4 tsp cinnamon
poppy seed dressing

Combine spinach and romaine.  Toss with poppy seed dressing.  Top with berries.  In a small bag mix walnuts and cinnamon.  Add walnuts to the salad.  

I tried to make a lemon mustard sauce with this but it turned out to be the consistency of peanut butter and it wasn't very good.  Hopefully you have a better plan for a sauce up your sleeve and please pass it along to me!



Husband Rating:  2 stars (fyi-Joseph doesn't like salmon so most anything with salmon isn't going to get a high rating!  I happen to like this dinner, but then again I don't mind my food on the dry side.)
Boys say:  thumbs down to sauce but they didn't mind the rest of it
