A few weekends ago I picked up a gorgeous center cut piece of salmon and we tried this super simple recipe. This truly could not be more quick and easy – the dish comes together in about 10 minutes! You start off by whipping up a quick glaze of fresh herbs, honey, wine, oil, and mustard in the food processor then broil the fish for a few minutes, brush with the glaze and pop back under the broiler to brown the glaze and cook the fish through. It’s equally perfect for getting dinner on the table on a busy weeknight or serving to company on the weekend. Rich, buttery salmon with a fresh, tangy glaze – completely delicious! I added a little bit of honey to the recipe to balance the sharpness of the mustard, and it was perfect. This dish makes me want to buy salmon a whole lot more often!

Broiled Salmon with Herb Mustard Glaze
adapted from Giada de Laurentiis
Ingredients:
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 6 (6-8 oz) salmon fillets
- lemon wedges, to serve
Directions:
Combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme, honey, wine, oil, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard in the bowl of a small food processor or in your blender. Process until the ingredients are combined then transfer to a small bowl.
Set an oven rack about 4-5 inches from the broiler element, and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Broil for 2-3 minutes, then remove the fish and brush the sauce over them (a thin layer is good, don’t go too crazy). Continue broiling for 4-5 minutes, or until the glaze has browned and the fish is just cooked through. Serve with the lemon wedges.
