Baked Salmon with Dijon and Garlic

I Made this last night and it literally took me a half hour to make, between prep and cook time. And it was Mighty delicious if I do say so myself. I also made a parmesan orzo with spinach, mushrooms and diced tomatoes. Here is my recipe for the spinach orzo, and I just sautéed some diced tomatoes and mushrooms in with it. It was a lovely combination.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound of salmon filets (I had the skin cut off)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 large OR 3 small cloves of garlic, pressed
• 1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard (grey poupon)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 cup mild olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Line a baking dish with foil, add the salmon and preheat the oven to 450 

Combine the parsley, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, olive oil and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl- and cover the salmon generously with it. ( I added a few lemon slices on top as well )

Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes (mine was closer to 15 minutes)

And that's it! Serve along with your favorite sides, or try my spinach orzo - and this will not disappoint! Enjoy!! :)
