You know me and my one pot meals…here we go again! This time it’s honey mustard salmon with broccoli. The salmon gets pan seared and is then finished with the easiest honey mustard sauce. Add some broccoli and you’ve got a healthy meal in no time at all!

This dish starts with the broccoli – I cook it first in the pan and then set it aside. The broccoli goes back in at the very end to get re-heated and coated in the honey mustard sauce. The salmon is simply seasoned with salt and pepper then seared to perfection in a super hot pan. The honey mustard sauce contains basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry and can be put together in less than 5 minutes. When you combine the salmon, sauce and broccoli, you’ve got dinner!

I used broccoli here because it’s one of the few vegetables that my kids will readily eat – other great choices would be zucchini, carrots or even asparagus. Speaking of the kids, they loved this salmon! It has a hint of sweetness from the honey that makes it even appeal to the people in your life that aren’t crazy about fish.
