Low Carb Recipe for Dijon Salmon

This was a great dinner that had all the kids asking for us to make it again. The Dijon added an amazing flavor to the Salmon, and would not be the same with a plain mustard.

It makes 4 servings and was ready as soon as the fish was finished cooking.

1 whole Salmon, head and insides removed
4 Teaspoons Olive Oil
4Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
4 Sprigs Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Heat oven to 400F, and spray baking dish with oil. For easy clean up line the dish in tin foil first.

Place whole salmon in oven and bake until skin peels easily off; about 10-20 minutes depending on size of fish.

While cooking, combine remaining ingredients into a small bowl.

Using utensils, peel off skin on one side. Pull out fins. Grab tail and lift upward. Fish should come of bones easily. Use a fork if needed. If fish doesn't come off bones easily, then cook a little longer. (but not too long or it will dry out)

Place pieces of Salmon onto plates. Spoon mustard mixture over fish. Serve.



Serving Idea: Include a extra large serving of mixed vegetables to finish off the meal.

Tip: Try not to buy farm raised Atlantic Salmon. It usually has been treated with antibiotics, or pesticides.
