Tonight we made the roasted salmon with thyme and honey-mustard glaze and mashed potatoes.
We used wild caught salmon that we got from our local Sprouts store.

What we liked:
This was a fairly quick recipe. It was very visually appealing.
What we didn't like:
The honey mustard glaze came out a little bitter. We find that our normal olive oil/lemon juice/salt and pepper sprinkled salmon turns out much better.
What Kaspian thought about it:
He ate the mashed potatoes but the salmon was not touched by him.
Next time:
We will not make this sauce for the salmon again.
