Mustard-Maple Salmon

By nlhartman

This easy broiled salmon recipe gets its sweet and tangy flavor from three ingredients: dijon mustard, maple syrup, and balsamic vinegar. Pair with steamed asparagus for a simple, elegant dinner.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add salmon. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes.

Prepare grill or broiler.

Remove salmon from bag, reserving the marinade. Place salmon on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and cook for 6 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork; baste salmon occasionally with the reserved marinade.
