Spicy Salmon with Mustard and Brown Sugar Glaze Recipe

Spicy Salmon with Mustard and Brown Sugar Glaze Recipe

  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons drained capers
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • One 2-pound center-cut wild salmon fillet, skin removed
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup spicy brown mustard
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Heat the wine, butter, Old Bay Seasoning, capers, and cayenne in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the fish in a glass baking dish. Pour the wine mixture over the top, and bake until fish is opaque in the center, 15 to 17 minutes; remove from the oven.
  3. Preheat the broiler. Whisk together the mustard and sugar in a small bowl; spread over the salmon to cover. Broil the salmon until the topping is brown and bubbling, about 3 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a platter and serve.
