Slammin' Salmon

Although Haley has given up on our detox (she had Chick Fil-A, 2 waffles, cream cheese frosting, and several other non-detox-friendly foods) I am persevering:) Tonight we made mustard glazed salmon, steamed green beans, and roasted garlic & rosemary mashed potatoes. I didn't really want to make mustard salmon, because I always think it comes out too "dijony" but I took inspiration from the lovely Giada (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/broiled-salmon-with-herb-mustard-glaze-recipe/index.html).

Mustard Glazed Salmon

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbs. whole grain mustard (or stone ground)
1 Tbs. dijon mustard
A few grounds fresh black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix together rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, mustards, pepper, and salt. Set glaze aside. Place salmon in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Broil for 2 minutes then cover with glaze. Bake 5 more minutes or until cooked through. Boom. Enjoy!

Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Mashed Potatoes (Vegan!)

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 clove garlic
2 potatoes
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 Tbs. olive oil, divided
1/4 cup almond milk (or any kind of milk)

Roast garlic clove by peeling off the outer layer, cutting off 1/4", drizzling with 1 Tbs. olive oil and rubbing it in, then rolling it up in foil tightly. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 35 minutes. In the meantime, peel and roughly chop 2 potatoes. Cover with water and boil for approximately 30 minutes, or until soft. Strain water from potatoes then lightly mash. When garlic is done roasting, let cool, then squish (there's probably a better term, but I feel like "squish" works, too) the garlic out of it's "pod." Depending on how soft it is, you can either squish into a paste, or chop, before adding to the mashed potatoes. Add rosemary, salt, pepper, olive oil, and milk to mashed potatoes and mix. Add more or less milk depending on desired consistency.
