Make a sauce out of mayonnaise, mustard, brown sugar, pepper. 

Slather the top of salmon cut into serving sized steaks. Place asparagus and tomatoes rubbed with a bit of olive oil, between the steaks. Broil in a 550F oven.

When is the salmon dome?

when the tamotos are beginning to blacken, the salmon is done. I personally like salmon at  125-130°F.

 

USDSA recommends minimum internal temperature of 145F (63°C)
