Make Maple Dijon Salmon for Dinner

While I'm a big fan of lox, salmon teriyaki, and red curry salmon, this is hands down my favorite way of eating salmon. It only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish, yet its complex mix of tastes and flavors make it irresistibly good.
Seared on one side in a skillet before gently cooking through in the oven, the salmon stays moist and tender. But the real star of the dish is the topping made with mustard, maple syrup, rosemary and lemon zest. The fragrant citrus and evergreen notes cut through the rich salmon, while the maple syrup and mustard provide a marvelous balance of sweet and sour.
In case you're wondering, this will also work on the grill. Just preheat the skillet on the grill, and then cover the grill to cook the salmon through.
