Lemon, Mustard and Herb Baked Salmon
As a kid I was a picky eater. There is no way I would have eaten this lemon, mustard and herb baked salmon. My kids love this salmon, especially my two girls. When I was in college, I remember disliking salmon, or at least disliking the smell of the salmon enough to not even try it, (this seems totally ridiculous now). Oh, how times have changed. I am definitely not picky anymore.
My husband used the word fantastic when describing this lemon, mustard and herb baked salmon. He doesn’t usually get excited about too many things, so this is kind of a big deal. He is definitely the laid back one in our marriage. I am not laid back, but I have so many other good qualities, at least that is what my mom always tells me.
You have to try this recipe. Even if you think you don’t like salmon, try this recipe. It is phenomenal.
