Honey Mustard Baked Salmon

So, have I told you guys that Michael broke his collar bone?

Yup. He broke it playing soccer about 2 weeks ago. Luckily it was not the same collar bone he broke 3 years ago. It was his other one. I guess he just wanted to even things out?

So how did it happen you ask?

Well. He was playing soccer. You see, recently he joined this “old man’s” soccer league and at his first game he played goalie. Within the first 5 minutes he made an incredible save on goal. As in he dove halfway across the goal and saved the other team from scoring on the opposite post. It was awesome. Cason was so impressed and so was I. I didn’t know he could move that way.

After his first save I decided to put an order in for dinner. So I had my head down, typing in the order on my phone (so it’d be ready for pickup after the game) and the next thing I hear is. “I told you I wouldn’t make any promises.”

You see. Right before Mike started his game, I looked at his friend (who convinced him to play) and said, “make sure my husband doesn’t get broken. Mkay?”

He promptly said right back, “no promises.”

Well, as soon as I heard him say “I told you…” I knew something was wrong. My heart sank. I looked up and saw my husband rolling around on the ground in pain. Ugh… not again! I’ve gone through the broken bone thing with him twice since we’ve been married and five surgeries resulting from those broken bones. It’s no fun. And he’s not the easiest patient. Plus he’s a big dude… 6’6″ and 250 lbs doesn’t move very smoothly.

He went in for an x-ray the next day at his good old friend, the sports medicine doctor, and we found out he had indeed broken his collar bone. The good thing was, he didn’t need surgery. At least not just yet. The bone was broken but was still aligned. So as long as he kept it in a sling and didn’t do too much to bother it, it should heal fine. Well, we will find out this week. Fingers crossed. So needless to say.. he did all that just to get out of changing diapers and late night feedings. Unbelievable!

Ok. Fun story I know.

But, moving on to todays recipe. This Honey Mustard Baked Salmon.

Y’all. You need to raise your hands to the roof on this recipe. It is seriously ridic and will make your kitchen smell like heaven!

PS if you’re wondering. Yes there is totally a difference between farm raised salmon and wild caught stock eye salmon.

Tips for Making Honey Mustard Baked Salmon

The wild caught salmon is way better taste wise and has a different color to it. I just started buying the wild caught and even though it’s a little more pricey you can taste the difference! I highly recommend using it!

Once you have the right salmon all you need is a dynamite sauce to top it with and you’re golden. This Honey Mustard sauce is just that! It’s sweet, spicy and sticks right to the flesh of the salmon in all the right ways to make it super tasty! Add a squeeze of lemon to liven that fish up after baking and I guarantee you’ll fall in love!

Can’t wait to hear what you think. Bon Appetit friends!
