Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

Well, it was a quiet night for us last night. Heath was on the boat all night, so dinner was just Jesse and I. I knew this earlier in the week, so I picked up a couple small Salmon for us on grocery shopping day (which is always Monday). This is a recipe I've made before, and it's always good. The glaze is tasty, but absolutely not over-powering. If you're wanting a major brown sugar flavor, then you might want to try marinating your fillets in the sauce for a couple hours in the fridge...this may help the taste seep in a bit more. If you make it according to the recipe, it'll just have hints of brown sugar, which is what I was in the mood for. As it turns out, Jesse does NOT like Salmon, so I ate mine and half of his. In fact, he disliked it so much that he felt the need to place his chewed up mouthful of salmon into my hand, and storm off from the dinner table...ok, point taken. At least he ate the noodles though :) Anyway, if you're a salmon fan, I definitely recommend this. I just love salmon and am always looking for new ways to make it, but this recipe is a keeper since it's so simple (pretty much NO mess!) and so tasty!
