There are many salmon fillet recipes and so many ways to cook salmon, but this one is special. So easy and so delicious, you'll make it often.
Salmon is such a healthy fish that it should find its way into your regular meals.
Not German in origin, this recipe can easily pass for one, because one traditional way of eating fish is with mustard sauce.In this recipe, Dijon mustard is brushed on the fish before baking - much easier than making a sauce.
