Sweet Spicy Glazed Salmon
Sweet, spicy, salty, sour—just four ingredients hit all the flavor notes in the sauce for this top-rated dish. Chinese-style hot mustard has a sharp bite similar to that of wasabi. If you don’t have it on hand, use Dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon of a dry mustard such as Coleman’s.
