Glazed Salmon, Kale and Orzo

This delicious Dijon mustard glaze makes a wonderful change from the usual soy or Teriyaki glazes for the super healthy omega 3 rich salmon.  Kale is the Queen of the Greens as it is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet containing powerful antioxidants, proteins, minerals and fiber.
