Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Prepare a small portion of wild Alaska coho salmon for cooking.

In a bowl, mix about 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of ground mustard, and 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar to create a glaze.

Brush the glaze on top of the salmon before placing it in the oven.

Bake the salmon in the oven for about 5 minutes, checking for color and flakiness.

If the salmon is not fully cooked, put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes.

Once the salmon is nearly done, brush on the mustard soy glaze again and return it to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
