Spicy Garlic Salmon

By: Natalie 
"This is an unbelievably delicious and quick salmon recipe. You can play around with the ingredients: add fresh basil leaves instead of the chili or balsamic instead of the lemon juice. The wholegrain mustard is essential. You are guaranteed to love this one! Serve with a green salad, and enjoy!"

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 dried red chile pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • sea salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper
