GLUTEN-FREE APRICOT DIJON CRUSTED SALMON RECIPE
The Toasted Oat Apricot Shortbread Soft Granola adds a savory citrus flavor to our gluten-free Apricot Dijon Crusted Salmon recipe. Seasoning or marinading can become dull, so this recipe is the perfect way to mix up how you cook your fish.
Among the many benefits of salmon is its high count of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been credited with several health benefits, including decreasing inflammation & lowering blood pressure.
Always gluten-free, this is a healthy dinner the whole family can enjoy.
