Really great quick way to cook salmon - a brown sugar glaze smeared on salmon fillets, optional addition of veggies, then broil it. Terrific caramelisation, really quick delicious dinner.

Ingredients
4x 5-8 oz/ 150-180gsalmon fillets, skin on or off (I use on)
2bunches asparagus(Note 1)
1bunch broccolini(Note 1)
1cupcherry tomatoes
1tbspolive oil
Salt and pepper
Glaze (Note 2)
1tbspDijon mustard
1tbspmayonnaise(I use whole egg mayonnaise)
2tbspbrown sugar
1/4tspcayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat broiler/griller on high. Place the oven shelf 6"/15cm from the heat source.
Spray a baking tray with oil (I use olive oil, any is fine).
Pile asparagus, broccolini and cherry tomatoes on the baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss with hands then spread out on the tray, mostly on one layer.
Wedge salmon pieces on the tray between the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Mix Glaze ingredients together. Slather on the salmon - tops and sides.
Grill/broil for 8 minutes - don't flip. The salmon should be caramelised and the inside should be blushing pink.
Rest for 2 minutes then serve with crusty bread rolls.
Notes
1. The asparagus and broccolini stems needs to be around the width of a standard pencil. If they are much larger than this, cut them in half lengthwise to ensure they cook in the specified time.2. This makes enough glaze to spread over the top and side of the salmon. You probably won't need all of it if you are using small salmon pieces. Try rolling the cherry tomatoes in leftover glaze before popping them on the tray!3. Nutrition per serving, assuming a 180g/6oz skinless salmon fillet, excluding bread roll.
