Broiled Salmon with Herb Mustard Glaze

This is just another reason to eat salmon, in my opinion (as if you needed one, right?)  Tangy mustard sauce that you whip together in your food processor and spread on broiled salmon.  This is a quick and easy dinner for any night of the week or for weekend company!  

Broiled Salmon with Herb Mustard Glaze (adapted from Giada DeLaurentiis)

2 garlic cloves
1/2 t. dried rosemary
1/2 t. dried thyme
2 T. dijon mustard
2 T. whole grain mustard
1 T. dry white wine (or white wine vinegar)
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
Cooking spray
6 (6-8 oz.) salmon filets
Salt and pepper
6 lemon wedges

Combine garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, mustards, white wine (or vinegar) and olive oil in the food processor and pulse to combine.  Set mustard sauce aside.

Preheat the broiler.  Line a heavy, rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.  Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Broil the salmon for 5 minutes.  Remove from the oven and spoon the mustard sauce on top.  Return the salmon to the oven and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.  

Transfer the fillets to a platter and serve with lemon wedges.

The sauce can be made ahead and the fish seasoned with salt and pepper.  Just broil when you are ready to eat!
