Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 side salmon (about 3 pounds), skin removed, cut into 8 fillets
  • 1 bunch watercress (about 3/4 pound), thick stems trimmed
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Preparation

Step 1


STEP 1
Heat broiler, with rack in top position.
In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium-high.
Add shallot and cook, stirring often until softened, 3 minutes.
Add vinegar and cook until slightly evaporated, 1 minute.
Add mustard and brown sugar; stir until warm and combined, 1 minute.
Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
(To store, refrigerate cooled glaze in an airtight container, up to 1 day.)
STEP 2
Place salmon fillets on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer 1/2 cup glaze to a small dish and brush on top of salmon.
Broil salmon until glaze is bubbling and fish is opaque throughout, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness; brush remaining glaze over fillets.
Serve salmon along with watercress and lemon wedges.
