Honey Mustard Salmon

As promised, here's another Friday recipe. This one comes from Cook This, Not That. Hubby has given it the seal of approval, and despite my distaste for honey-mustard anything, I really enjoyed it, too. The honey-mustard flavor is wicked mellow and blends well with the taste of the salmon. Also, it's really fast to make! Oh, and if you don't want to fire up the oven (I mean, who does on a hot day?), you can keep it in the skillet until it's done on medium low heat. I have no idea how long it will take- somewhere between one minute and one hour. :P

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

How To:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the butter and brown sugar in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, until the butter and sugar have melted together. Stir in the mustard, honey, and soy sauce.

Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and add to the pan flesh-side down. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until fully browned and flip. Brush with half of the glaze and place the pan in the oven until the salmon is firm and flaky (but before the white fat begins to form on the surface), about 5 minutes. Remove, brush the salmon with more glaze, and serve.
