Grilled Salmon With Dilled Mustard Glaze

Recipe #133080 | 33 min | 8 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: NcMysteryShopper

The sugar and dill in this glaze is used to cure gravlax by Scandinavian-Americans in Minnesota, but the combination works just as well on the grill. This is a "Staff Favorite" at Food & Wine Magazine. This recipe also works well in the oven. The lightly caramelized sweet mustard glaze and rich, smoky flavors here will find echoes in an oak-aged Chardonnay.

    DH isn't a fish person but this is so good that he asked for a second helping. I baked this at 400 for 15 mins.

    Made this recipe for a dinner party. I baked the salmon in the oven wrapped in foil. It was so delicious that it was toatlly polished off...I thought I had made to much and there was too little everyone complaining they ate more than they wanted to - couldn't stop. Oh - I used ocean trout rather than salmon.

    For the 2005 Zaar World Tour, one of the Scandinavian meals I have made, comprised this salmon dish served with Maité’s Scandinavian Cucumber salad Scandinavian Cucumbersalad and Maité’s Brunede Kartofler Brunede Kartofler. All delicious recipes in themselves but unless you are showcasing Scandinavian cuisine – that was my excuse – rather TOO rich and creamy to be served for the one meal! Not that anyone complained! Because it has its own really delicious mustard sauce, a simpler salad and potato dish would more effectively complement this salmon dish. This was great way to cook and serve salmon. The sauce really enhanced the salmon rather than stealing the show as sauces are too often inclined to do. A recipe really worth trying!

    First, it was GREAT. I had to use spicy brown mustard and dried dill because that was all I had. I also baked mine in the oven this time. My friend who HATES salmon, loved it!
