Succulent Salmon w/ Mustard and Coriander Touch

It is healthy and delish. A touch of sweetness too. Enjoy!

SERVINGS 4
COOK TIME 20 min
PREP TIME 10 min

Ingredients:

1 tbsp FRENCH'S® Honey Dijon Mustard

1 tbsp coriander seeds

1 tsp crushed red pepper

1.25 lb skinless salmon fillet in one piece

1.25 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup tightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a coffee grinder, coarsely grind the coriander seeds and crushed red pepper. Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper and spread 1 tablespoon of the mustard evenly over the fillet. Press the ground spices into the mustard. In a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add the salmon fillet, mustard side down, and cook over high heat until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn the salmon. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the salmon for 6 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer the fillet to a cutting board. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard. Add the parsley, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Cut the salmon fillet into 4 pieces and serve with the salad.
