Mustard Aioli Salmon with Zucchini Salad

MUSTARD AIOLI SALMON WITH ZUCCHINI SALAD 😍

Kickin off the first Trader Joe’s Tuesday with a recipe that’s as easy as it is flavorful 🙌🏽 I’m at Trader Joe’s legit 40% of my waking hours because it makes my life sooo much easier as a working adult (questionable title there) who’s on a budget, but still trying to get a healthy meal on the table quickly. Probably wouldn’t recommend this for meal prep, but let’s be real there won’t be leftovers anyway😉

Serves 2.

Ingredients:

For the Baked Salmon:

• 2 salmon filets

• 3 tbsps Trader Joe’s Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce (my cousin put me on this and I legit drink it)

For the Zucchini Salad:

• 2 large zucchinis

• 1 cup frozen roasted corn, defrosted

• 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes

• 1/2 cup feta cheese

• 1/4 cup chopped basil

• 3 tbsps olive oil

• Juice from 1 large lemon

• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

• Salt and pepper

Directions:

For the Mustard Salmon and Zucchini Salad:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and coat with the mustard using a brush or the back of a spoon.

• Place the frozen roasted corn in a bowl to come to room temperature.

• Cut zucchini into half moons and season with olive oil, salt, lemon pepper, and garlic powder.

• Add the salmon to a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes depending on the thickness, or until it flakes easily. With 8 minutes to go on the salmon, add the zucchini to the sheetpan, as it will cook faster than the salmon..

• Once zucchini is tender, add to a bowl with corn, halved tomatoes, feta and basil. Drizzle with 2 tbsps olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper and toss.

• Serve the salmon with the zucchini salad and enjoy!😋😋
