Smoky Mustard-Maple Salmon

One way to increase your Fruit and Vegetable intake is by turning your usual side dishes into one main section of your meal. For example, add these green beans and red potatoes to this easy — or more delicious — ultra-fast salmon. The sweetness of the maple balances the tangy mustard; smoked paprika or ground chipotle adds another layer of flavor. When you buy your salmon, ask at the fish counter to have the salmon cut into four 4-ounce fillets with the skin removed.
