Simple Salmon

This is a simple recipe I found in my files. I am not sure where it came from, so if it is yours let me know. The original recipe only has 3 ingredients, I added a fourth to give it a little kick. If not try it, it's so simple and delicious. The sugar will met and create a glaze.
You could switch out the mustard for another "sticky" substance and add herbs and spices to the sugar for different flavors.

Glazed Salmon

 1 salmon filet
Dijon Mustard
Brown Sugar
Cayenne Pepper

Preheat your grill to high.
Spread just enough mustard on the salmon to cover with a thin coat. Next put enough brown sugar to cover the filet on a plate. Mix the cayenne pepper with the figure. Put the salmon, mustard side down into the sugar. Make sure the sugar evenly coats the whole filet. Put the filet on the grill and cook until it reaches the desired doneness. Serve immediately. In the picture I served over sautéed spinach with mushrooms and bacon crumbled over it.

    Anyone that is a salmon lover like myself knows how flavorful this is with the addition of brown sugar. It enhances the flavors to almost a glazed outside and moist and juicy inside. This is a perfect combination of flavors for this fish... BRAVO~!

    Although I am not a fan of fish at all... this sounds like something I may have to try. I really like the thought of mustard and brown sugar to take the fishy taste away. I would try some of this sometime.. it sure looks awesome!

    This looks so easy even I could do it!
    I know salmon is a hearty fish, but I'd be worried that the mustard and brown sugar would overwhelm it, no?

    The object is to put a very thin coat of mustard and then use just eough brown sugar to coat the fish. A lot of the sugar will melt off during the cooking.

    Looks relish! I make fish for the meat eaters on Christmas... this looks like a lovely simple prep that I might have to adopt! :D

      Thanks Diane! I have been on temporary leave from the blog due to an illness in my family. I plan to start back up soon.
