Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon

After Thanksgiving I went through a brief fish phase. I try to incorporate sea life into our diet regularly, but last week was particularly packed with it. I guess I felt the need to lighten things up after an indulgent holiday. And in the process I discovered two new delicious fish recipes. Both simple and quick, too! The first is this honey-mustard glazed salmon fillet. A combination of tangy Dijon, wholegrain mustard (which accounts for the seeds you can see), and clover honey is slathered over the surface of the fish, which is then broiled until flaky. The wholegrain mustard adds the right touch of texture, so don't go without it. Mustard-lovers will definitely be fans of this recipe. Not too strong, not too sweet. Just right. I served it with steamed broccoli and sweet potatoes roasted with a little fresh garlic and thyme.
