Nutritionist recommend eating two to three servings of fish a week. However, I don't like fish THAT much and my husband likes it even less. Alternatively I make a point to prepare it once a week, usually on Monday or Tuesday to get it out of the way. Since salmon one of the healthiest (high in Omega 3, antioxidants, protein, and other nutrients) it's what I usually end up making. I don't generally like mustard, but in this recipe the sweet mustard really compliments the flavor of the salmon.
