Roasted Salmon with Sweet and Hot Mustard Glaze – salmon filets are roasted with an easy homemade honey mustard glaze.
I can’t decide if I love craigslist or hate it. I find things on there all of the time that I might be interested in, but sometimes the hassle of driving to check them out is just not worth the effort.
I have been obsessed with everything baby lately, especially since I am hitting the halfway mark tomorrow. And being the frugal person that I am, I have been searching high and low for a good deal on the many things I need to buy before the little one comes.
On Thursday, I ran across an ad for a new Pack-n-play for almost half of what this woman had bought it for just a few months ago. It was the best bargain I had found so far, especially being new, so I jumped on top of the deal. The only problem was that I had to drive to another town, about 40 minutes away, to pick it up. I left after work, hoping to have time to pick it up, stop at the grocery store, then make it home in time to make dinner.
I picked up my new purchase and was excited to have bought the first “big” item for my baby. I stop at a grocery store on my way home, only to find that they did not have 2 of the 3 items I needed to make my cookbook of the month recipe. By this time, it was already getting late, and it was already later than we usually eat dinner, so I decided to postpone the cookbook of the month recipe, which I always post on Fridays, to Saturday.
Well, things still didn’t go quite as planned when I went to make this. I am having a hard time finding hot mustard powder, and I realized when I started making this that I didn’t have enough Dijon mustard, so I improvised. I used stone ground mustard for part of the Dijon, which was actually a good decision because it brought in some of that “hot” that I was missing from not having hot mustard powder. This wasn’t a blow-your-socks-off meal, but for something that was on the table in less than 30 minutes – I ate and enjoyed every bite!
It’s also a new month, so this month’s cookbook of the month is Robin Miller’s Quick Fix Meals. I found it on clearance a few days ago, so cheap that I couldn’t pass it up. I’ve only watched her show a handful of times, but I do know that she cooks once, and then uses part of that meal throughout the week. I’m going to be changing up the recipes a bit for a few reasons. First, because I don’t like to eat the same protein for dinner all week long. I like chicken one day, beef the next, then pork, etc. I get bored with the same thing over and over. I plan on following the recipes as written one day when I get a big freezer, because her way of cooking really does save time and effort. But just know that these recipes will not be following her method!

This salmon recipe sounds fantastic. I might have to try it with Dijon since my husband isn’t a fan of hot food.

How did I miss this post? First, congrats on your first big baby purchase. Is my foggy memory correct that a Pack-n-play is a playpen type device? We used ours when we traveled as a crib for the wee one. Hope you and the pending babe enjoy it!
Next, the recipe looks soooo good. I love that glaze. It really does sound sweet and hot! YUM!

Salmon is always a good choice. And a sweet hot mustard glaze sounds great. Take it easy with all the running around sometimes you may have to trade frigality for convienance.

Ah Craig’s List. Sometimes my friend sometimes my enemy. But your wonderful salmon can always be my friend. It looks really good sitting on a bed of fluffy white rice.

Ok – I love you!! My hubby just got home from Alaska with 100lbs of Fish – Salmon and Halibut so your timing on this recipe is perfect!! This will be on our dinner plate next week!!
Deb says
Reaching the half way mark is exciting. The next few months will go so quickly.
The salmon looks yummy. An interesting combo with the mustard.
Ben says
I am with you about Craig’s list. Sometimes the stuff you find there is just not worth even the drive. In the other hand, I found pretty good and cheap stuff on ebay. You just need to look and look and look and keep looking :-p

This looks delicious! I have never tried any of Robin Miller’s recipes, so I might have to give this one a go!
