Primal Dijon Salmon

Ingredients

4 garlic cloves
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil, for pan (preferably domestic first cold pressed)
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Olive oil for pan
4 (6 oz) wild salmon fillets (avoid Atlantic Salmon brand due to its unhealthy farming methods)
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
4 lemon wedges for serving

Healthy sourced salmon is an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids, essential to promoting good hormonal balance

Preparation

1. In a mini food processor, or using a mortar and pestle mash garlic with the herbs,
   vinegar, oil, and Dijon mustard until it becomes a paste. Set aside.
2. Season salmon with a pinch of salt and fresh pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over high
   heat until hot. Lightly coat pan with oil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Place the
   salmon on the hot grill pan and cook without moving for 5 minutes. (okay, you can move, but don’t move the food)
3. Turn and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes spooning on half of the garlic
   herb mustard sauce.
4. Turn and cook 1 more minute spooning the other side of the fish with remaining sauce.
   Turn once again and let the fish finish cooking about one more minute.
   **Note: the fish should have a total cooking time of about 9-10 minutes per inch. If your fish is thinner, reduce the total cooking time.
5. Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
6. Serve
