• In a mini food processor, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, wine, oil, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard. Grind the mustard sauce until combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard to the sauce and stir to combine. Set aside mustard sauce.
• Preheat the broiler. Line a heavy rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick spray. Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Broil for 2 minutes. Spoon the mustard sauce over the fillets. Continue broiling until the fillets are just cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.

BAKED SALMON WITH PARMESAN HERB CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425º F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper which serves to keep the fish moist and make for easy cleanup.
• Wash the salmon filet and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, onto lined baking sheet. Cover salmon with another piece of parchment paper.
• Bake salmon for 10 minutes. While it bakes, stir all remaining ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Remove salmon from oven and discard top piece of parchment paper. Top the salmon with herb and cheese mixture. Return to oven uncovered and bake until the internal temp registers 135º F. The Parmesan cheese should be melted and golden brown.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
• Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.
