Recipes: Honey Mustard Salmon and Kale

At first glance, salmon and kale might not sound like the greatest combo ever…but once you take your first bite there’s no going back.

That’s because honey mustard ties all these ingredients together. The tang from the honey mustard adds some “oomph” to this protein/omega-3-rich dish. Make sure you don’t forget the shallots and honey!

Need a lunch to bring to work? Just meal prep the salmon the night before and your lunch will instantly become an  A class dinner.

Ditch the chicken (for just one meal) in favor of some scrumptious salmon. Ready to try it out yourself?
