Ingredients:

1 salmon fillet (about 2 1/2 lbs.)

1/4 c. packed light-brown sugar

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill

1/4 c. grainy Dijon mustard

1/2 c. light mayonnaise

 

Directions:

Place salmon on a broiler pan, skin side down.

 

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, dill and mustard.  Spread half on top of salmon.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 5 hours.  Stir remaining mixture into mayonnaise and refrigerate sauce, covered, until ready to use.

 

To serve, heat oven to 400 degrees.  Remove salmon from refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Remove salmon in one piece to a platter, leaving skin behind.  Serve warm or at room temperature with sauce.
