Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.
Brush generously with the glaze and grill for about 4–5 minutes per side, basting occasionally.
Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Serve with extra glaze if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in half the glaze for 30 minutes before grilling.
Pairs perfectly with grilled vegetables, rice, or a crisp garden salad.
You can substitute maple syrup for honey for a twist on the glaze.
This recipe works well with a grill pan or broiler if grilling outdoors isn’t an option.
