Salmon with Mustard Sauce

The quest for healthy eating continues. This quest includes brown rice. I actually made this on Saturday for my boyfriend, Stephen and I. I wasn't entirely sure what he would say about the brown rice, especially because it wasn't his beloved coconut rice. So I mixed some coconut milk in his rice at the end, and if he noticed, he made no mention. The salmon and rice was not quite enough for him though, so he had some soup to go along side.

Season salmon with Old Bay seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix together equal parts of Dijon mustard, spicy brown mustard and agave nectar. Set aside. In skillet, cook salmon over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Drizzle mustard sauce over salmon.
