Tonight I pulled out my handy Cook's Illustrated Best 30-Minute Recipe cookbook & decided on the broiled mustard & brown sugar glazed salmon fillets with dill & garlic mashed potatoes. So good!
Broiled Mustard & Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon Fillets with Dill
Serves 4
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tbsp cider vinegar
3 tbsp whole-grain mustard
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 salmon fillets, 1 1/4" thick
Salt & ground black pepper
1 tbsp minced fresh dill
Adjust oven rack 6" from broiler element & heat broiler. Line broiler pan bottom with foil, set broiler pan rack on top, & spray rack with vegetable oil spray.
Stir brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, oil, & garlic together until sugar dissolves.
Pat salmon dry with paper towels & season with salt & pepper. Lay salmon skin-side down on broiler pan (spaced about 1" apart). Reserve 2 tbsp of glaze in clean bowl for serving, then brush half of remaining glaze evenly over salmon.
Broil until all but very center of fish has turned from translucent to opaque, 10-12 minutes, brushing salmon again with remaining glaze halfway through broiling.
Drizzle reserved glaze over salmon & sprinkle with dill before serving.
