ROASTED SALMON WITH BUTTER

The preparation could not be simpler. Heat your oven to 400. Make a mixture of Dijon mustard and brown sugar to the degree of spicy-sweetness that pleases you. Salt and pepper the salmon fillets.

They ought to be done in 12 minutes or so, and they pair beautifully with simple braised greens.
