Mustard Dill Salmon

This Mustard Dill Salmon is as easy as it is beautiful!  It takes less than 30 minutes start to table for the most mouthwatering salmon ever.  The grainy mustard is the key here along with lots of fresh dill, lemon juice and ghee.  I served it over a simple cauliflower rice mixed with fresh spinach, garlic and ghee for the perfect side dish.  My husband is not a salmon fan and wanted to know when I was going to make this again.  Thats a huge win for me!!
