Yesterday someone was asking for yummy salmon recipes and, today, I found a recipe that I printed out a long time ago and put in my "recipe" file at work (I know...I SHOULD be working but I can't help looking for yummy recipes!). Anyway, this looks REALLY good and is healthy!

Grilled Mustard Salmon with Red Wine Sauce
Serves 4

4 fillets fresh salmon, bones removed
1 Tbsp mustard seeds
1 Tbsp freshlly ground pepper
1 Tbsp oregano
2-3 Tbsp olive oil (I would just use a pump oil sprayer to spray the salmon and the pan instead of using so much oil to cut fat/calories)
1 cup Pinot Noir

Brush the salmon with a little of the olive oil. Combine the mustard seeds, pepper, and oregano and spread on a plate. Press the flesh side of the salmon into the mixture to form a crust. Heat the remaining oil in a pan and cook the salmon for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Transfer to a baking dish, cover with foil and kepe warm in a veyr low oven. It will continue to cook, so make sure you take it out of the pan just a little underdone. It should still be a rich pink and moist inside.

Pour the red wine into the same pan and cook until the wine reduces to a thin sauce consistency. The recipe says to serve the salmon over mashed potatoes on plates and spoon the wine reduction over it but I think it'd be fine without the potatoes. It'd probably be good on a salad! Mmmm...
