Well, I think enough time has passed (a week? two?) since I ate mustard salmon four times in a row. (Let’s also share some of the blame with @gracieggg - mostly in the hope that this tag brings her back to WFD - for soliciting salmon ideas and reminding me that it’s been a few days since I ate this.)
So - Bengali Mustard Salmon was for dinner - TA DA! Those are crispy habaneros on top, btw, courtesy TJs - set my mouth on fire!
Accompaniments were red lentil / masoor dal - SO GOOD, if i do say so myself - and I don’t feel bad saying that because I went years hating my own dal. I cooked it with aromatics and cilantro stems, then finished with vaghar / tempering of asafoetida, cumin, shallots, and garlic, and finally cilantro leaves.
I started out with a plan to make palak (spinach) dal so I had sauteed a package of frozen spinach on the side, but the dal was so good I didn’t want to mess up the balance by adding the spinach so I just ate it on the side.
The salmon tonight was a slab - I figured might as well cook it at one go instead of fooling myself that I’m not just going to make it at least one, maybe two more times 
Bad timing on my part, so I ended up eating the proper Bengali way - in courses, dal and veg first, and salmon later when it was done.
A very pleasing Sunday dinner to end a difficult weekend.
