Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat broiler, with rack in top position. In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add vinegar and cook until almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Add mustard and brown sugar; stir until warm and combined, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. (To store, refrigerate cooled glaze in an airtight container, up to 1 day.)
Step 2
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment, if desired (for easy cleanup). Place salmon fillets on baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup glaze to a small dish and brush on top of salmon. Broil salmon until glaze is bubbling and fish is opaque throughout, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from broiler; brush remaining glaze over fillets. Serve salmon with watercress and lemon wedges.
