Broiled Salmon with Herb Mustard Glaze

As of Sept 14, our Costco here in Houston was carrying fresh wild Alaska Koho Salmon at a real good price! We stay away from the farm raised Atlantic Salmon, too many antibiotics and they just taste fishy, good fresh wild Salmon from Alaska should never have a smell to it and it just tastes better.

Prep Time: About 20 minutes
Cook Time: About 7 minutes
Easy Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves (minced, see below)
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves (we use fresh but dried works OK too)
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves (dried works fine)
1 tablespoon dry white wine (any white wine will do as long as it’s not a sweet white, make sure you drink the rest, preferably most of it while you’re cooking!)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard (we use the Tasbasco brand course ground mustard fgor a little xtra kick!)
vegetable oil for the grill
6 (6 to 8-ounce) salmon fillets
course sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 lemon wedges (whatever)

Directions

In a mini food processor, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, wine, oil, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard. Grind the mustard sauce until combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard to the sauce and stir to combine (if you mince the garlic, you can just whisk it all in a bowl and you don't to do the food processor thing, works just as well). Set mustard sauce aside.

I do the Salmon on my grill on high heat (make sure you oil your grates real good), grill for 2-3 minutes, then spoon the mustard sauce over the fillets. Continue broiling until the fillets are just cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes longer, they should lift right off the grill grate.

Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
