Honey Mustard Salmon
Many of the health benefits from salmon are related to the high concentration and bioavailability of omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA). These fats are a benefit in many areas including: cardiovascular health, improved mood, joint protection, eye benefits, decreased cancer risk, and overall benefit in reducing inflammation. Four ounces of salmon often contains around 2 grams of omega-3-fats. The NIH recommends about 4 grams of omega-3-fats/ day. Additionally, mustard has some anti-inflammatory and cancer prevention benefits. Honey is a great natural sweetener. Good quality honey has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties, and can improve blood lipid ratios. This recipe is a tasty way to improve your health!
2 Tbsps melted butter
2 Tbsps grain mustard
2 Tbsps honey
4 wild Salmon fillets, approx 6 oz each

Preheat oven to 375. Heat a pan coated with spray olive oil on the burner, a grill pain works best. Salt and pepper the raw salmon to taste and put in the hot pan, sear both sides of the fish.
