BROILED SALMON WITH HONEY MUSTARD GLAZE

ONE PAN, 30-MINUTE
DAIRY FREE, NUT FREE, SOY FREE, GLUTEN-FREE
This is inspired by my mom’s salmon, which she broils or grills when we all get together. She uses foil for easy clean-up and to protect the outside edges of the salmon. The result? Moist salmon with a bit of caramelization on top.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds salmon filets boneless and skinless
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 garlic cloves minced (about 3 teaspoons)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges for serving
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Prepare the salmon. Line a sheet tray with two layers of foil, coating the top layer thinly with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the honey, dijon, garlic, olive oil, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir until combined. Add the salmon, toss to coat evenly. Set the salmon on the prepared sheet tray. Fold the top foil layer to hug the thin outer edges of the salmon, leaving the top of the salmon open.
  • Broil on high heat (500°F) and serve. Set the oven temperature to broil and transfer the salmon to the top shelf, approximately 6-inches from the broiler. Do not walk away or forget as it will cook very quickly (especially the closer it is to the heat). Checking every 5 minutes, pull the salmon out as soon as you see it is brown and opaque (approximately 10 minutes total). Garnish with lemon wedges and minced parsley, then serve. Note: Reserve those pan drippings and drizzle over a side of sauteed vegetables or rice. If it will be a while before you can serve the fish, I recommend completely covering tightly with foil to lock in the moisture.

Notes

Many of the ingredients can be swapped without losing the essence of this dish, which is fast, fresh-tasting caramelized sweet and spicy.
