Preparation
- Step 1
Position one oven rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source then heat the broiler. Season the salmon fillets all over with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper and place them on an aluminum foil-lined sheet pan, skin side down.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk the oil and mustard until well mixed. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with this mustard mixture.
- Step 3
Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. (The center of the fillets will be dark pink, if you pierce one with a paring knife and take a look.) If your fillets are thinner, reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes. If you prefer more well-done fish, add 1 or 2 minutes to the cooking time.
- Step 4
Squeeze a lemon wedge all over the cooked salmon fillets, then serve salmon with more lemon wedges on the side.

FYI, silicone baking mats typically say NOT to use them under the broiler. Same no-no with parchment paper, although for different reasons.
great receipe, place lemon slices under the salmon and forget the foil for each clean up & some extra flavor.
The recipe is great! However ... if you own a sheet pan, you should really use silicone baking sheets (2 for $14 at Amazon) rather than use-once-and-landfill aluminum foil.
Brown garlic cloves in the oil first. Can sub butter for the olive oil. Added honey to the sauce.
Along with the brown sugar and DeJon mix for salmon, replacing the brown sugar with honey is a good combination as well. Start with the mix one for one and go from there, subject to taste.
Equal amount of brown sugar. Air fryer: 12 min plus 1 min broil
