Why This Recipe Works

Broiling is one of the easiest and best methods we’ve found for cooking salmon. The intense heat browns the exterior, but leaves the middle moist and juicy. For our Glazed Salmon recipe, we found that soy sauce combined with mustard and honey paired perfectly with the fish. Our broiler’s high heat quickly reduced the mixture to a sticky, sweet-salty glaze. We reserved a portion of the mustard and soy mixture, added fresh dill, and used it as sauce to serve alongside the salmon. We cooked the salmon until just opaque and barely firm, as it continued to cook a little once removed from the broiler.

Before You Begin

Broilers vary in heat output, so cooking times can vary dramatically. When you are broiling, it is best not to walk away from the oven. Keep a close watch on your food, and start checking after a few minutes.

Instructions

Adjust oven rack so that it sits about 6 inches from heating element and heat broiler. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.

Whisk mustard, honey, and vinegar in medium bowl. Whisk in oil, then transfer 3 tablespoons mustard mixture to small bowl and stir in soy sauce. Whisk dill into mustard mixture in medium bowl.

Arrange salmon fillets on baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and brush top and sides with mustard-soy glaze. Broil salmon until tops are just browned and a peek at inside of fish with paring knife shows that they are just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer salmon to serving platter, garnish with dill sprigs, and serve with mustard-dill sauce.
