Healthy Recipes: Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon with Roasted Veggies + Sweet Potato

Another birthday recipe!  This is my one of my favorite dinners.  It was inspired by a restaurant my family and I visited frequently that recently closed, so I wanted to recreate it!  I hope you like it!

 
Honey Mustard Glaze (and Baked, Fresh Salmon)
Ingredients:

• 3 tbs of stone ground mustard
• 2 tbs of honey
• 1 tsp of garlic crushed, or 1 garlic clove
• a dash of pepper

Directions:

1. Mix all of the glaze ingredients together.
2. Preheat the oven to a broil (450 degrees).
3. Let the salmon bake with the glaze on top for about 6 minutes in the broiler, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees. 
4. Check on the salmon every 5 minutes.  This should take about 20 minutes at most to bake.
5. It will be cooked once the salmon is no longer a dark pink color in the middle. Cut one in half to check on them as they cook.  
6. Serve immediately!

Nutrition (for the glaze):

For one filet of salmon (about 6 oz), you can expect that to be around 350 calories, 34 grams of protein, and 22 grams of fat (all good fat, omega-3's baby!).  Add the glaze to this, and you're set!



Roasted Veggies 
Directions:

1. Take whatever mixture of vegetables you want and combine them in a prep bowl. 
2. Add them to a sautee pan with 1 tbs of olive oil. 
3. Sautee the vegetables until they brown.
4. Salt and pepper to taste!

Sweet Potato
Directions:

1. Cut the sweet potatoes into whatever size you like; I made bite sized triangles.
2. Toss them in 1 tbs of olive oil and place them on a baking pan.
3. Bake them for 30-35 minutes, flipping occasionally, at 350 degrees.  
4. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
