Broiled Salmon with Garlic, Mustard and herbs

in response to a follower - my wife like the perch recipe for just about any fish, but my favorite Salmon recipe is as follows:

Broiled Salmon with Garlic, Mustard and herbs

2 Garlic cloves minced
2 Tablsespoons Dijon Mustard
2 Tablespoons whole grain mustard
you must use both types mustard - the Dijon gives the topping its bite while the whole grain
mustard helps create a crust
3/4 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 Tablespoon dry white wine - OK, make it 1 1/2 Tablespoons
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
nonstick Olive Oil spray
salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 lemon wedges

6 eight oz salmon fillets - I prefer Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon portions as found @ JD's Seafood Express - but, you should always use wild salmon - not farm raised

In a small bowl, mix the garlic, both mustards, sage, rosemary and thyme. Mix in the wine and olive oil. Set the mustard sauce aside.

Preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick olive oil 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 another 5 minutes).

Transfer the salmon fillets to your plates and garnish with lemon wedge
