INGREDIENTS:

Here’s what you’ll need to prepare the Baked Dijon Mustard Salmon:

  • Four skinless salmon fillets
  • Two tablespoons of Dijon mustard
  • A tablespoon of mayonnaise, light

  • Oil of olives, 1 tsp.
  • One garlic clove, minced
  • Quarter teaspoon paprika
  • To taste of powdered black pepper with salt
  • Chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • Lemon wedges

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Salmon:

  • Luckily, you’ll want wild-caught salmon if you can find it. You get more flavor from less fat. Should you prefer frozen salmon, let it thaw and dry with a paper towel before you cook it.

Dijon Mustard:

  • By putting these ingredients together, you get the dish’s popular, sharp, and tangy taste. Pass over ordinary yellow mustard because it doesn’t add the strong notes Dijon does.

Greek Yogurt:

  • Nonfat Greek yogurt adds a smoothness to the sauce while remaining fat-free and still worth the points.

Olive Oil:

  • To keep the fish properly wet, use oil of olive(in a little amount). You can complete less schooling if you have to keep track of fewer points.

Seasonings:

  • Powdered onion and garlic enhance the flavor of the spice. Add as much pepper or salt as you like.

Lemon Juice:

  • A bit of juice of lemon lighten the salmon’s flavor and cut down on its richness.
