Why We Like It


This impressive entree is both easy to prepare and nutritionally balanced.  Heart-healthy fish, cholesterol lowering beans, and the powerhouse kale are all laced with an absolutely delicious honey mustard sauce, delivering mouth-watering goodness to the very end!  We have Eat REAL America members tell us they make this honey mustard sauce to keep on hand to add to a variety of meals or veggies — it is THAT good!

Make the Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (juice from half of 1 small lemon)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh chives (chopped, or sliced green onions)

Add to a small bowl and stir to combine.  Set aside.

Prepare the Salmon:

  • 1 lb skinless boneless salmon fillets (quartered)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the salmon.  (You can also prep the onion and kale now if desired and set aside.)

Cook the Salmon:

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Add to a large skillet over medium heat.  Add salmon to the skillet and cook about 4 minutes, then turn and cook about 2 minutes until almost done.  Remove and set aside.

(You will be adding the salmon back to the skillet to finish cooking).

Cook the Onion and Kale:

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped, or 3/4 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 white onion (or yellow onion, chopped)
  • 4 cups kale (stems removed and leaves chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Add oil to the skillet where you cooked the salmon.  Add everything else and cook for about 5 minutes until kale starts to wilt.

Add Next:

  • 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans (no salt added, rinsed and drained)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (juice from half of 1 small lemon)

Stir into the skillet with the onion and kale.  Add the salmon back to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes.  (Do not overcook!)

Serve and enjoy!

Serve the salmon and bean mixture topped with Honey Mustard Sauce.
