(From Cook This Not That: Kitchen survival guide. Pg. 232 & Pg. 301)

Honey- Mustard Salmon -370 calories, 21 g fat (6g saturated) 530 mg sodium-

1 Tbsp butter (I used Land O Lakes Light butter w/ Canola oil)
1 Tbsp Brown sugar
1 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
1/2 Tbsp Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 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 w/ salt and pepper and add to the pan flesh side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until fully browned and flip. Brush w/ 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 w/ more of the honey mustard, and serve w/ the asparagus.
