Recipe Notes
Getting more seafood in your diet is one of the basics of the Mediterranean diet. There are a lot of great options but people are often afraid of cooking fish.
The simple technique in today’s featured recipe, Mustard Glazed Salmon with Lentils, is one that you can use over and over. Simply find a rub or a glaze that you like for your fish. Place the fish on a baking sheet and spread the glaze or rub evenly over the top. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and set a timer.
It may take you a few dinners to get the timing just right — in my oven it is 7 minutes for medium rare. You might like the fish done a little more, so 10 or 11 minutes may work for you.
