Salmon with Brown Sugar & Mustard Glaze

My husband came home a great catch from his fishing trip; salmon! One of my favorite fish to make, I am always looking for new recipes to try. I found this one on Food Network by Bobby Flay.It is a highly rated recipe, an average of 5 stars out of 85 reviews. This recipe asks you to grill the salmon, but because that isn't always the most practical thing in the world - I broiled it which was just as good.

Salmon with Brown Sugar & Mustard Glaze

3 Tbspn Light Brown Sugar
1 Tbspn Honey
2 Tbspn Butter
1/4 C Dijon Mustard
2 Tbspn Soy Sauce
2 Tbspn Olive Oil
1 Tbspn Finely Grated Ginger
Vegetable Oil
Salt and Black Pepper
8 Salmon Fillets, 6 oz Each

1) In a small saute pan, melt the brown sugar, honey and butter over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil and ginger. Let it cool

2) Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush salmon with vegetable oil and season with salt & pepper to taste. Place the salmon on the grill skin side down. Coat the flesh of the salmon with the brown sugar mixture. Grill for 6-8 minutes turning once after 5 minutes.

Apple Crumb Pie

This is the season for Homemade Apple Pie, and I have found a great recipe. It is the perfect combination of sweet, delicious, crumbly goodness. I found this recipe on Allrecipes by Jackie Smith. It gets an average 5 star rating out of 262 reviews; it doesn't disappoint.

It is a little sweeter than most apple pies, so you should make this one if you like the kind of apple pie that is crumbly with cinnamon and sugary flavors. The photo features the lattice-style topping which was a special request from the husband, but normally I would just leave it as it - it gets a beautiful golden brown.
