Grilled Salmon with Mustard and Fennel Recipe


Try this dish after a spring day has left you frazzled- mustard and fennel are what herbalists call carminatives, substances that help soothe stressed digestion. 

Ingredients: 
12 ounces salmon filet 
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 tablespoon fennel seeds 

Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler. 

Spread the salmon flesh with the mustard, then sprinkle the fennel seeds. Grill or broil the salmon about 4 inches from the heat source until just cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Serve warm or at room temperature for a brunch, lunch, or dinner entrée. *

*If weather is damp, serve a side dish of steamed potatoes tossed with spicy salsa. If weather is dry, serve a side dish of steamed sugar snap peas tossed with sautéed mushrooms and fresh lemon juice.
