Salmon with a mustard glaze

Want something flavorful?  Want something that involves very little prep and minimal bake time?  Then you want Salmon with a Mustard Glaze. 

If ever in a pinch to make something for dinner, this recipe should be your go to meal.  Total prep time is 10 min and the cook time is 7 min.  That’s a 17 min wait time for something that is sure to be your favorite.  I was totally blown away by the awesome flavors of the glaze, which adds a whole new dimension to salmon. 

Ingredients:

2 Garlic cloves

¾ teaspoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary

¾ teaspoon of finely chopped thyme

1 tablespoon of olive oil

2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard

2 tablespoon of whole grain mustard

2-4 salmon fillets

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions:

In a food processor (or magic bullet), combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard.  Once combine, add the rest of the whole grain mustard (1 tablespoon) to the paste and mix completely with a spoon.  This way your glaze retains some texture.

Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil.  Add salt and pepper (to taste) to salmon fillets.  Set oven to broil (Hi) and broil salmon on top rack for 2 min.  After two min, slather on mustard glaze (covering the salmon filet) and broil for an additional 5 min. 

As an option, squeeze lemon over cooked salmon.
