salmon w/ brown sugar glaze

If you follow the blog regularly, you may have noticed some patterns developing. One of which is my growing obsession with dishes that combine salmon and dijon mustard (you can see past recipes here and here). I recently tried another one that was even more simple than most recipes on the site (which is really saying something) and quite delicious. Here's what you'll need:

• Salmon filets
• 2 parts brown sugar
• 1 part dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Next prep the glaze by mixing the brown sugar and mustard in a bowl. For one salmon filet, I did 2 teaspoons sugar and 1 teaspoon mustard. Mash it all together and let it sit for 2 minutes (it'll become nice and glaze-like while it hangs out over there).

Lightly salt and pepper your salmon and place it on a piece of tinfoil. Spread the glaze generously over top, then loosely tent the foil over the salmon. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes covered, and another 3 or so uncovered (or until salmon flakes easily with a fork).

Presto, dunzo, you're ready to eat.

Bon chappétit!
