Honey Mustard Salmon With Herbed Brown Rice

Take a breath, I promise this is the easiest "Almost Gourmet" meal you can make. It is SUPER fancy sounding and tasting but it is painfully easy and fairly cheap (salmon fillets usually run around $4 each, so compared to the $18 per dinner you would pay at a seafood restaurant, I think it is a penny pincher!).

Honey Mustard Salmon

2 salmon fillets, skin removed

¼ cup honey mustard

1 tbs lemon juice

Dash of garlic powder

Salt and pepper

Mix mustard, lemon juice, and a little salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Add salmon and turn to coat.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add salmon fillets. Cook on each side for approximately 4 minutes. Fish will be done when it is easily flaked with a fork

Herbed Brown Rice

2 cups cooked brown rice (still hot)

½ onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbs chopped basil

1 tbs chopped flat leaf parsley

1 dash cumin

1 dash sage

Juice of one lemon wedge

Salt and pepper to taste

Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Stir onion and garlic into rice and add remaining ingredients, and combine well.

Serve the salmon and rice with a green salad and you will surely impress!
