Sweet-Spicy Glazed Salmon

By bjnelson55

Sweet, spicy, salty, sour—just four ingredients hit all the flavor notes in the sauce for this top-rated dish. Chinese-style hot mustard has a sharp bite similar to that of wasabi. If you don't have it on hand, use Dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon of a dry mustard such as Coleman's.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 4 teaspoons Chinese-style hot mustard
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
• Cooking spray
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
