Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Red Potatoes

We've started eating Salmon every so often. I am not a huge fish person but this recipe was pretty good and didn't taste fishy to me at all! My husband LOVED it and is already asking when I am going to make it again. The roasted asparagus and potatoes are an old favorite. Delicious meal! Salmon recipe was inspired by a hint of honey and modified to our liking.

Roasted Asparagus and Red Potatoes:

-1 bunch fresh asparagus
-4 red potatoes chopped
-olive oil
-3 cloves, garlic, sliced
-1 tablespoon dry Italian seasoning
-sea or kosher salt and fresh black pepper
-1-2 tablespoons basil

Preheat oven to 425. In an extra large mixing bowl toss the asparagus, potatoes, 2-3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and basil together. You can use your hands to massage the oil and seasonings into the vegetables.

Grease a casserole dish and roast vegetables about 30-35 minutes until potatoes are tender.


Honey Mustard Salmon:

-1 1/2 pound antibiotic free salmon fillet (I bought mine from whole foods when there was a great sale)
-3 tablespoons whole grain dijon mustard (got mine at trader joes)
-2 tablespoons honey
-1 clove of garlic grated
-Salt and Pepper

Lay the fish skin side down on a foil lined baking sheet. I didn't oil the baking sheet because I wanted the skin to stick to the foil after baking. Season with salt and pepper. In a bowl combine other ingredients and spread on top of fish. Bake in the oven at 425 for 15-20 min or until flaky.

So, to make these at the same time, since they have the same cooking temperature, I just put the veggies in the oven and add the fish when there is 20 min left.

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers

I've tried a few stuffed pepper recipes, but I hadn't found one I liked enough to post on here until now. This one was awesome! My husband has declared it his new favorite dinner. Unfortunately, he likes it really spicy and it's much too spicy for my toddlers to eat which means I have to whip up something else for them. This recipe makes enough to fill 4 peppers but since it's just my husband and I eating them I usually stuff only 3 peppers and put the remaining mixture in the casserole dish with the peppers. Recipe inspired by a spoonful of sisters and modified slightly to our liking. -4 bell peppers most prefer red, orange, or yellow but we like them all! -olive oil -1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa -1 onion, diced -3 garlic cloves, minced -3oz can of green chilies -1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed -1 cup frozen corn kernels -2 green onions, chopped -1/2-1 teaspoons chipotle chili powder depending on how much spice you like -1 teasp...
