Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 250 degrees. In a small bowl whisk mustard, sugar and ½ cup water together. Set aside.
- Step 2
Cut salmon into four uniform portions. Pat dry with paper towel. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat; skillet should be large enough to hold salmon without crowding. Add salmon skin side up, and sear quickly about 2 minutes, until it can be lifted easily with a spatula without sticking. Turn, and sear about 2 minutes skin side down. Thickest part should still be raw in center.
- Step 3
Brush top of salmon with remaining olive oil and then with mustard mixture. Place in oven about 20 minutes, until medium-rare in center. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part should register 100 to 110 degrees.) Remove from oven, and serve.

1/2 cup each of mustard and sugar and water makes way too much glaze for the amount of fish; cut it in half if you make this. I likely will NOT make this again, as it was bland (you'd think that much Colman's would be pretty flavorful, but no). There are better recipes here.
Salmon was perfectly cooked and oozing with flavor. Delicious and so easy.
