Active Time: 12 minutes; Total Time: 19 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  • Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
  • 6 (6 to 8-ounce) salmon fillets
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. In a mini food processor, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, whine, oil, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard. Grind the mustard sauce until combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard to the sauce and stir to combine. Set aside mustard sauce.
  2. Preheat the broiler. Line a heavy rimmed baked sheet with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick spray. Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Broil for 2 minutes. Spoon the mustard sauce over the fillets. Continue broiling until the fillets are just cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.
  3. Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes:

  • Recommended Wine: 2001 Pecchenino, Origin: Alba, Piedmont, Grape: Dolcetto.
  • Wine notes: using white wine for fish and red wine for meat no longer applies. Break with tradition. Italy produces many interesting reds, so for this dish I chose a classic Italian wine made from the dolcetto grape. This lighter bodied red will marry well with my salmon dish which has a rich and silky texture.
