Broiled Dijon Salmon

​Did you know fish has seasons, just like produce?  Well here we are, nearing the end of salmon season, and I've got a recipe that will help anyone with a hesitancy for preparing seafood because it is so simple!  Full of healthy fat and zippy flavors, I think you're going to love this salmon paired with something like kale slaw, roasted greens, or a simple quinoa salad.  Enjoy!

Broiled Dijon Salmon
     Serves 4
1.5 lb wild caught salmon, cut into 4 fillets
2 T good quality dijon mustard
1.5 T honey
1.5 T olive oil
¼ t sea salt
⅛ t ground black pepper
⅛ t garlic powder
½ oz fresh dill (1 small handful), stems removed and finely chopped
Extra dill for serving
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges

Pat salmon fillets dry and place in a baking dish for marinating.  Prepare the marinade by whisking together dijon, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chopped dill in a bowl.  Pour over salmon fillets, coat evenly on both sides, and allow to marinade in the refrigerator for 1 hour.  After 1 hour, preheat the broiler to high.  As it preheats, allow salmon to sit at room temp on a foil-lined cookie sheet.  Broil (on the highest rack possible), skin side up, for 4-5 minutes, or until the thickest part of a fillet flakes easily with a fork.  If your broiler runs extra hot, you may want to flip the fillets after 3-4 minutes.  Serve each fillet with a fresh sprig of dill and a wedge of lemon.
