Baked Apple Salmon Recipe

This is a very healthy recipe because salmon is high in omega 3 fatty acids which have been shown to help with brain functioning and is a great source of amino acids which are important for cellular growth and function. It’s low in sodium and very low in preservatives (depending on which brand of mustard you use). To make it a little more healthy I would suggest using wild salmon instead of farm raised. Wild salmon is also less fishy tasting but does cost more.

Baked Apple Salmon

Ingredients:

• 1 salmon filet
• 1 apple, chopped
• Dijon mustard
• Black pepper
• Herbes De Provence ( or substitute dried thyme and basil)
• Apple Cider vinegar

Directions:
On a large piece of foil place chopped apple aside.  Spread Dijon mustard on one side of salmon and turn face-down on apples.  Season with pepper and Herbes De Provence. Drizzle on a bit of apple cider vinegar.  Close up foil to make a packet and place in 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes.
