Mustard-Maple Roasted Salmon

The Wheel of Meals landed on Chef's Choice again.

Lucky me.  I decided to make something healthy and picked up some salmon from the grocery store.   I also prepared quinoa and a leafy green salad to accompany it.   I found this recipe online and it was just okay.  It could be that I substituted Dijon mustard and Mrs Butterworth syrup since that's what I had in my kitchen.  I much preferred the Balsamic Glazed Salmon I made last month.  In fact, I liked the cilantro quinoa better than the mustard-maple salmon.
