Directions

  4. Place the salmon on the foil spreading the mustard paste over the entire fish.
  5. Pull the foil over the salmon forming a tent and making sure not to touch the paste; pinch the foil closed around the fish.

  11. Remove the salmon from the oven and enjoy!

Cook's notes

Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes and green beans. I like to double this recipe because it is so good left over; even cold on a salad.
