Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

We had a full house (apartment) last weekend.  My sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and nephew came out from CA for a couple of days and my inlaws decided to drive out, too!  The visit was far too short, but we had a good time and lots of good food.  Plus we celebrated Samantha's 3rd birthday!

I decided to make glazed salmon for Friday's Lenten dinner.  But not just any old salmon . . . glazed salmon. 

Ingredients:

• 2lbs. salmon (I used wild coho salmon from TJ's - so tasty!)
• 2 tbsp. Earth Balance butter
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 3 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 c. whole grain dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• Salt & pepper

To make:

• Preheat oven to 400
• Melt butter, honey, and brown sugar in small saucepan
• Remove from heat san whisk in olive oil and mustard
• Season both sides of salmon with salt & pepper
• Brush with brown sugar mixture
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, until salmon flakes with a fork

This was so good!  Not too sweet with just a little tang from the mustard.  We had a couple of pieces left over and it reheated well, too.  I usually don't like reheated salmon; it just doesn't taste good.  But this was pretty tasty when I reheated some on Sunday. 

I served this with steamed veggies and a really yummy rice pilaf.  I think the rice may have been a bigger hit than the salmon.  Watch for that recipe up next!
