Preparation & Cooking Times
| Prep Time | Cook Time | Total Time |
|---|---|---|
| 15 minutes | 10 minutes | 25 minutes |
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons dry vermouth
- 1 ยฝ tablespoons dry white wine
- 1 ยฝ teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons country-style Dijon mustard
- 2 salmon fillets
Instructions
-
Preheat Your Broiler: Begin by preheating your broiler to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the salmon evenly.
-
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, dry vermouth, dry white wine, freshly grated ginger, and country-style Dijon mustard. Stir the mixture with a whisk or fork until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended, forming a smooth glaze.
-
Marinate the Salmon: Place your salmon fillets on a plate and spoon a few teaspoons of the prepared glaze over them. Allow the fillets to sit and marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes. For a more intense flavor, you can marinate the salmon a bit longer, but be mindful not to use too much of the glaze at this stage.
-
Prepare the Broiler Pan: Lightly coat a broiler pan with cooking spray to prevent the salmon from sticking. Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on the pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
-
Glaze and Broil: Brush the salmon fillets with half of the remaining honey mixture. Place the pan under the broiler and cook for approximately 8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork. Be sure to baste the fillets frequently with the remaining honey mixture during the broiling process to keep them moist and flavorful.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the broiler and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
