Salmon with Hot and Sweet Glaze Time - 25 minutes
Salmon fillets or steaks - whichever you prefer. Steaks will take a little longer
2 salmon fillets, 6 - 8 oz each
1 1/2 tbs brown sugar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp Sherry
Mix all of the above (except salmon) and let rest for 10 minutes (for sugar to dissolve). Put salmon on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Drizzle about half of the glaze over the salmon, dividing evenly. Bake at 400 F for 12 - 20 minutes, depending on thickness, until it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork. After 10 minutes take it out of the oven and check it. You should be able to tell how much longer it will need. (Error on either side of perfect is okay - a little pink in the middle is better than overcooked and dry, though) Drizzle with the remaining glaze and continue to bake until done. Serve.
Note: For easy clean up cover pan with foil first. This is especially nice if you are using fillets with the skin on. You can carefully lift the salmon off the skin to serve, leaving the skin on the foil. Then wrap the whole mess up and toss.
