Broiled Salmon with Garlic, Mustard, and Herbs

So haven't ever made fish before, but thought I would try out this salmon dish.  It turned out really good - the salmon was a little under cooked, but Ross actually liked it better that way.  I will probably broil it a little longer next time - but I got nervous that I was going to burn it, so I followed the directions below.  Since it was just Ross and I - I only did the 2 fillets, and cut the rest of the ingredients in thirds.  Made this with the Sauteed Green Beans with Tomatoes and Basil.

6 servings
Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon dry white wine
nonstick olive oil cooking spray
6 (6-8 oz) salmon fillets
6 lemon wedges

In a small bowl, mix the garlic, both mustard's, rosemary, and thyme.  Mix in the wine and oil.  Set the mustard sauce aside.

Preheat the broiler.  Line a heavy rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with nonstick spray.  Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.  Broil for 2 minutes.  Spoon the mustard sauce over the fillets.  Continue broiling until the fillets are just cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.

Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with the lemon wedges.
