Maple Dijon Salmon

We always like to include a few salmon recipes every time we make freezer meals. Salmon is high in Omega-3 fatty acids. It’s good for brain health. This maple dijon salmon takes just minutes to prepare. There are two salmon recipes that we alternate between and then we always try out one new one. We usually just invent something based on the ingredients we have on hand or what season it is.That was the case with this recipe invention. We happened to have maple syrup and dijon mustard. I thought it sounded like a nice Fall meal. And we were right!
