Print Recipe
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

Salmon

  • 2, 4-6 oz salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp country dijon mustard
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Grain

  • 1 cup low sodium chicken/bone broth
  • ½ cup quick cooking whole grain quinoa brown rice or farro
  • ½-1 tsp seasoning blend like McCormick Montreal & TJ Everything But the Bagel

Vegetable

  • 12-16 oz bag frozen vegetables we chose broccoli
  • ½-1 tbsp butter
  • salt/pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring chicken broth and seasoning to boil on stove top.  Add whole grain, cover and reduce heat to low to allow to simmer (it should not be boiling).
  • Preheat broiler. Place salmon fillets on a foil-lined pan sprayed with cooking spray (I use a Misto). Season well with salt and ground black pepper. 
  • In a small ramekin, mix the maple syrup and dijon mustard. Spread ½ of the maple and mustard mixture on the salmon fillets, leaving the remaining to drizzle at the end of cooking.
  • Place frozen vegetable in a pot with a steamer basket to steam on the stove top until tender OR cook in microwave according to the directions.
  • Broil salmon for 4-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish and your preferred doneness.
  • Season tender vegetables with salt, pepper, and butter. Spoon whole grain on the plate and lay fish atop. Drizzle the remaining maple mustard sauce on top of the fish and serve steamed vegetable alongside the fish. Enjoy!
