I found this recipe in the July, 1999, issue of Cooking Light magazine. I'll warn you that the honey in the recipe burns while in the oven and will make a complete mess of your pan. For that reason, I highly recommend you cover your pan with tin foil and spray it with no-stick spray before starting. Except for that one warning, this is one easy and healthy weeknight meal.
Honey-Glazed Salmon
Serves 4
2 tablespoons shallots -- minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme -- chopped or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper -- ground
4 6-oz salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
cooking spray
thyme springs (optional)
Prepare grill or broiler. Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl. Brush honey mixture over skinless side of fish. Place fish on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
Tonight I'm using salmon fillets with skin. I'm going to do the recipe just the same except I don't have a broiler. Baking it in a hot oven for 10-12 minutes should work just fine. Add some steamed broccoli and you have a quick and healthy meal. (Salmon is my favorite fish.) Enjoy!

That sounds good. I have a couple of salmon filets that I think I will try it with. I use the no stick aluminum foil from Reynolds. It is awesome and things just don't stick to it.
