Easy Honey Mustard Salmon

Easy Honey Mustard Salmon

dressing ingredients

Looking for easy? Here is an easy, protein-rich meal. One thing that makes it easy is the double duty that the marinade plays, as it is also a great salad dressing. Shake it up, slather it on some salmon, grill it up, and pop it on a plate with some pre-washed greens and couscous and you have a meal. Double the serving and you have a dressing for your salads all week!

Couscous can be made in a bowl with no pan to wash. Since it absorbs the hot liquid you add to it, rather than cooking over a stove, it comes together with a huge amount of forgiveness if you take longer than expected. It is as simple as measure, stir, cover, wait, serve.
