Ingredients

• 4 salmon filets (about 6 ounces each)
• brown sugar
• Dijon mustard (coarse or regular)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Place the salmon, skin side down, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and Dijon mustard. (I started with 1/3 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of Dijon because I wanted it less sweet. You can start with 1/3 cup of each to start, tasting the glaze and adjusting as you prefer.)
3. Spread the brown sugar-Dijon mixture on the filets generously, letting some of it drip over the sides.
4. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes. (I prefer salmon right at 12 minutes as it is still quite moist, but not wet. Adjust time to cook the salmon to the firmness you prefer. The USDA recommends salmon be cooked to 145 degrees F on a food thermometer.)
5. Serve. Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
