Fish

This salmon relies on a simple Dijon-honey glaze that caramelizes under the broiler, creating a tangy, lightly sweet crust while keeping the fish moist inside. With only three ingredients plus salt and pepper, it comes together fast enough for a weeknight dinner yet feels special enough for company.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the broiler on high and set a rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it.

  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and honey until smooth.

  4. Spoon and spread the mustard-honey mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

  5. Broil the salmon until the glaze is caramelized and bubbling and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes depending on thickness.

  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
