Honey Mustard Salmon

This dish is elegant enough for company, quick enough for a "desperation dinner," and convenient enough for any cook. You can put it together at the last minute or assemble it in the morning so it's ready to cook when you are.
 
Serving: 6
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 11 minutes

INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons snipped fresh dillweed or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or any other good-quality mustard
1 tablespoon honey
6 salmon fillets (about 4-ounces each)
Vegetable oil spray (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat grill on high or preheat broiler to 450 degrees F.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together dillweed, mustard, and honey.

3. Rinse salmon and pat dry with paper towels. Brush mustard mixture all over flesh side of salmon.

4. If broiling fish, spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Put fish skin side down on grill or baking sheet. Grill or broil about 6-inches from heat for about 6 minutes, or until fish is barely translucent at its thickest part and sides are beginning to flake when tested with a fork. Fish will cook a little more after you remove it from the heat.
