Baked Dijon Salmon


Sorry for not posting regularly. Our three year old feels sleep is now optional which would not be too bad except he turns from my lovable boy to a little fiend with no sleep so we've been working hard convincing him well rested is better than the Lord of the flies. For dinner tonight I'm making salmon, poached asparagus, and whole wheat couscous with nuts and feta. I'm serving the couscous cold and using some wine to poach the asparagus not sure how it's going to turn out right now since the recipes are in my head. I'll let you know how it turns out. As for the salmon I'm not sure where we got this recipe but it is almost impossible to mess up. I hope you like it enough to put into your rotation.
