Brown Sugar Broiled Salmon
Brown Sugar Broiled Salmon features salmon fillets coated with a sweet and slightly spicy glaze made of Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. The salmon is broiled alongside fresh asparagus, broccolini, and cherry tomatoes. The result is caramelized salmon with a tender, pink interior and roasted vegetables with bright flavors and a touch of char.

Ingredients
- 4 x 5-8 oz/ 150-180g salmon skin on or off (I use on, fillets
- 2 asparagus Note 1, bunches
- 1 broccolini Note 1, bunch
- 1 cup cherry tomato
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Glaze (Note 2)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (I use whole egg mayonnaise)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat broiler/griller on high. Place the oven shelf 6"/15cm from the heat source.
- Spray a baking tray with oil (I use olive oil, any is fine).
- Pile asparagus, broccolini and cherry tomatoes on the baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss with hands then spread out on the tray, mostly on one layer.
- Wedge salmon pieces on the tray between the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Mix Glaze ingredients together. Slather on the salmon - tops and sides.
- Grill/broil for 8 minutes - don't flip. The salmon should be caramelised and the inside should be blushing pink.
- Rest for 2 minutes then serve with crusty bread rolls.

Notes
- Use asparagus and broccolini stems about the width of a pencil for even cooking; halve thicker stalks lengthwise.
- The glaze quantity covers the tops and sides of salmon; small fillets may use less.
- Consider tossing cherry tomatoes in leftover glaze before roasting for added flavor.
