Salmon with Mustard Glaze

Baking the glaze really mellows the flavor of the mustards and takes away a bit of the garlic's kick. Good accompaniments to the fish are broccoli and wild rice. The leftover glaze makes a good topping to the broccoli as well.

Mats:
2 6oz salmon fillets, skin off
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp fresh thyme
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp regular mustard
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine

Set your oven to broil. Take your broiling tray, cover it with aluminum foil (for easy clean up), and coat it lightly with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed garlic, thyme, both mustards, olive oil and red wine together. Mix thoroughly.
Place your salmon fillets on the broiling sheet and sprinkle with about 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp coarse-ground black pepper.
Broil the seasoned fillets for 3 minutes.
Daub the mustard glaze over the fillets so they're evenly covered with the mustard glaze. Don't be stingy!
Broil the fillets for a further 5 minuets, then remove and serve.
