Honey Dijon Glazed Salmon

Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering just looking at this picture.  This salmon was sooooo good.  Not to mention that toasted orzo salad with fresh herbs.   I have to say that my dinners hardly every LOOK as scrumptious as they taste but this one really did live up to it's beautiful presentation.  

I am loving having a stash of fresh caught Alaskan salmon in my freezer.  It makes dinner so simple when I can just pull out a salmon filet, add a simple sauce and then put it on the grill.  

Honey Dijon Glazed Salmon
2 Tablespoons honey
1 1/2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 salmon filets
2 Tablespoons olive oil

Combine honey, mustard, pepper and salt.  Microwave on high for 2 minutes.  

Place salmon on a foil lined baking pan.  Brush with half of glaze.  

Broil 6 minutes.  Turn salmon over.  Brush with remaining glaze and broil until cooked through.  Serve.

This month was all about uber-simple and super fast dinner recipes.  There was not a lot of extra time to get dinner on the table.  Who am I kidding?  Most days, I have about a 20 minute window to make dinner, get everyone fed and the dishes cleaned up.   OK, so that might be a little bit of an exaggeration but I didn't have time for long, complicated dinner recipes - simple and easy all the way.  I am so happy that quick doesn't have to mean plain or bland.  This salmon recipe is proof that simple and quick can be delicious.  I hope you enjoy.  

Ciao!
