Cooking the salmon for 10 minutes per inch would be a ruinous waste of the fish - it is far too long and will leave the salmon dry and hard. Try it for 5 minutes, check, and readjust as required.
Too right. Salmon flesh should be very moist, always err on the side of what you think is underdone, because it continues to cook just a bit more off heat. I live in Seattle and have made salmon almost weekly for decades.
Not sure I'd call it a glaze, when basically all you're doing is spreading mustard on the salmon, but it soaks in, tastes great. Used about 2T Dijon for a 13-14 oz piece of salmon that cooked about 6 min. Spread it with a pastry brush before removing salmon from grill pan. Too simple.
