🍗Place the flour and salt and pepper in a shallow dish and gently toss each chicken breast in the dish to coat.

🍗Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat; add the chicken and saute for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown, sprinkling each side with the lemon pepper directly in the pan. When the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, transfer to a plate.

Honey Mustard Salmon

6-8 servings.

Ingredients:

Salmon:

  • 1 batch honey mustard sauce (see below).
  • 2 pound side of salmon, boneless and skinless.
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves.

Honey mustard sauce ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup mustard.
  • 1/4 cup honey bee.
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt.
  • 1/8 teaspoon blak pepper.

Instructions:

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Or heat a grill to medium heat.
  2. Prepare your honey mustard sauce as directed below.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with a large sheet of aluminum foil. Mist the foil with cooking spray, then lay out the salmon in the middle of the foil.
  4. Spoon the honey mustard sauce on top of the salmon, and spread it around evenly so that it covers the top of the salmon.
  5. Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed.

To cook in the oven:

  1. Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked through. Cooking times will vary on the thickness of your salmon, so we recommend checking it constantly.
  2. Remove the salmon from the oven and carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil.
  3. Change the oven setting to broil, then return the fish to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on the salmon while broiling, to be sure that the sauce does not burn.

To cook on the grill:

  1. Carefully transfer the packet of salmon to the grill, and grill for 12-14 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked through. Cooking times will vary on the thickness of your salmon, so we recommend checking it constantly.
  2. Carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed.
  3. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.

6. Remove salmon from the oven or grill.  Sprinkle the top of the salmon evenly with parsley, and serve immediately.

  1. Cut the oranges in half and squeeze out the juice into a large bowl. Add the greek yogurt, vanilla Shake Me!® and sweetener (if using) to the juice and mix well with a spoon.

  • Lettuce leaves to make your tacos (Butter lettuce or baby gem lettuce).
  • Fresh coriander leaves.

  • Lime wedges to spritz.
