Honey Mustard Salmon

Once again on the heatlthy kick I decided to have fish for supper, you know how important those omega 3's are.  My family really enjoyed this dish and they all ate it without any complaints.  I think it helped that the sauce for the fish was kind of sweet and that salmon is a fairly mild fish.  If you are looking for something different try it, your family may surprise you.


Honey Mustard Salmon

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the butter and brown sugar in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, until the butter and sugar have melted together. Stir in the mustard, honey, and soy sauce.
Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and add to the pan flesh-side down. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until fully browned and flip. Brush with half of the glaze and place the pan in the oven until the salmon is firm and flaky (but before the white fat begins to form on the surface), about 5 minutes. Remove, brush the salmon with more of the honey mustard, and serve with the asparagus.
