Sweet Mustard-Glazed Salmon for the Grill
"Wild-caught salmon is a huge perk of living here in the Pacific Northwest, and this is one of my favorite ways of preparing it. The sweetness of the brown sugar mixed with two kinds of Dijon mustard compliment the salmon beautifully. I have used both light and/or dark brown sugars and only one kind of Dijon mustard with great success. I've also baked this in the oven for 20 minutes at 375*, but grilling adds a lot of flavor to the salmon."

This was so yummy! I wrapped the salmon in foil on the barbecue, and while this was very good, I think it would be even better if it was thrown right onto the grill without the foil. Easy, quick...and I can't wait to make this again! -
I made this for my boss and his wife (she's a vegetarian) and they both raved about it - fighting over the last couple of bites. While I am still struggling with grilling salmon in one piece on the grill, the flavor was great.

I loved this recipe, and so did my husband - which is a HUGE deal, since he hates eating any kind of fish. The glaze was amazing! -
We just love salmon, especially grilled, and this glaze complemented it perfectly. Thanks for posting!

An avid cook since I was a teenager, and a retired First-Grade teacher, my students and I used to cook twice a month in the classroom, coordinating what we prepared with our curriculum. I always snuck in mini- lessons on nutrition and manners at the same time. :) The children loved it, taking home recipes they made in class and asking their parents to make them again at home. THESE were no boring lessons on liquid and dry measurement! If you think about it, cooking is largely a combination of math, chemistry, and artistry.
Fond memories of my students play a role in my cooking-life today. A giant, framed, black chalkboard graces one dining room wall, replete with the menu-of-the-day in manuscript handwriting and simple chalk drawings.
Special joys in my life these days, (besides two outstanding grown children :), family, friends, and cooking) include gardening/landscaping, writing a book about teaching, music, discovering watercolors by local artists, and exploring my new island home, where bald eagles and Dungeness crabs are among my neighbors.
