For me, I need my fish to have a little "pizazz" in order for me to really enjoy it. Salmon is great with lemon, salt, and pepper. But let's be honest, switching it up every now and then never hurt anyone. This recipe does just that. Half-way through broiling, you simply add an "herby" mustard glaze and it takes the salmon to a whole other level. Definitely dinner party worthy. This same glaze would be great on a variety of fish and seafood. The options are endless! I apologize for the lack of picture here. We were hungry tonight!
Ingredients (serves 4):
4 salmon filets (I have the fish guy at the market take the skin off and make sure there are no bones!)
1/2 teaspoon of rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon of thyme, finely chopped
1 tbs. of dijon mustard or whole grain if you have it
1 tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove
1 tbs. of olive oil
Directions:
In a food processor combine, rosemary, thyme, mustard, lemon juice, and oil. Combine for 30 seconds. This is your glaze. Set aside.
Pre-heat Broiler. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Place salmon on foil and season with salt and pepper. Broil for 2 minutes. Remove from broiler and spread mustard and herb mixture liberally on each piece of salmon (don't skimp here, this is where the flavor is!) Return to broiler and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on the fish near the last few minutes of cooking. Before serving, squeeze lemon juice over the salmon. If you are serving at a dinner party, garnish the serving dish with rosemary and thyme sprigs.
