Salmon With Mustard-Maple Glaze

5.0(5)

Salmon is a healthy and delicious fish, an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, special fats that can only be found in fish from cold, Northern waters including salmon, sardines, kippers, and mackerel. Be careful when buying your salmon, farmed salmon has high levels of PCBs, and ones from the Great Lakes or Atlantic Ocean have mercury levels, which are dangerous to pregnant women and children. The best salmon is wild from Alaska or California, and can be purchased at an organic grocery store. For more information about picking fish, go to www.greenguide.com. This dish is an excellent entree, served on a summer night with a side of fried rice with ginger and shitake mushrooms, and chilled asparagus. Adopted from recipes found the Epicurious website.
