Smoky Maple-Mustard Salmon

I don't know about you, but I love salmon! My usual way of doing it is with honey mustard salad dressing, so this recipe caught my eye as I was browsing through EatingWell.com:

Again, thanks to Saturnine for putting this website in my sites; lots of stuff on here that looks great!

Now I am going to start off by saying that my husband and I have just recently moved into a new house (like last week) therefore my kitchen is not really stocked with everything that it should have, so I had to make a couple of minor adjustments (I warned you that I do this!!). The regular Heinz mustard was substituted for the Dijon mustard, and Tabasco Chipotle sauce was substituted for the ground chipotle pepper. The end result however was still pretty tasty, and it was SUPER easy to do. The fish has a good flavour to it, and was just a little bit spicy (which we love). I coupled it with Lipton Thai noodles and corn on the cob, both of which seemed to work pretty well with the flavour of the fish.

A couple of things I would do for next time: First of all, I think I would try to marinate the fish in the sauce before cooking it. I liked the flavour but would have liked it to be a bit more "throughout the fish", instead of just on top. Also be careful not to over cook this, as it can go a bit dry if you are not careful. I think that next time I would pair it with something hardier, or get bigger pieces of fish (which you could as it is so low in calories!), as we were both still hungry after we finished eating. Overall, I would try this again, with small adjustments.
