Mustard and mustard seeds used to have medicinal purposes. The Greeks thought it helped heal scorpion stings; the Romans used mustard for toothaches. Well, if your tooth has been stung by a scorpion, boy, do we ever have the meal for you! (Kidding, kidding… see a doctor if your bicuspid has been attacked by an arachnid.) Center stage is a fine, flakey salmon enrobed by a honey-y mustard sauce that will heal your taste buds of the searing pain of boredom. Potatoes and green beans make for a delicious curative from the disease of hunger. Take two of these, and order this again in the morning.

1 Start the Potatoes
Cut potatoes into ¾" chunks. Place potato chunks on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer and roast, 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Potatoes will finish cooking in a later step. While potatoes roast, prepare ingredients.

3 Make the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine mustard, mayonnaise, honey, and a pinch of pepper. Set aside.

4 Cook the Green Beans
After potatoes have cooked for 15 minutes, remove from oven. Carefully, add green beans and shallots to baking sheet with potatoes and toss with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until green beans are tender and potatoes are browned, 7-9 minutes. While green beans roast, cook salmon.
