Make this delicious salmon and asparagus recipe in about 30 minutes. The sweetness of the honey mustard adds a lot of flavor to oven roasted salmon.
Healthy, high in omega-3 salmon is paired with nutritious asparagas, a good source of Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Selenium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Iron, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese. Cook the salmon with the skin on for a collagen boost.
Be sure to buy wild and not farmed salmon. Farmed salmon is bad for our oceans and the meat is gray and is artificially colored orange. Wild salmon has been sustainably managed in Alaska for quite some time now.
Caught using trolling lines off the coast of northern California, King (Chinook) salmon is a Seafood Watch “Good Alternative.”
