I used 1/8 c, mustard after reading the comments by other reviewers. We enjoyed this very much! I used vadalia onions instead of red onions, as we like a milder onion, and I didn't want it to overpower the other flavors. It's a keeper and I'm adding it to my other favorites!

I made this for Christmas Eve. I personally don't eat salmon but the others LOVED it! I cooked a couple boneless chicken breasts in the same manner & topped with the sauce & capers - it was DELICIOUS! Thank you! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! xoxo Bethie

No wonder, that this recipe won the RSC#10 contest in summer 2007. It is the combination of ingredients which make the winning recipe. The sauce is a wonderful winning combination of a mustard sauce and the falvors for gravad salmon (dill, honey, lemon). And to just warm it and not to cook is best. This will keep all the falvours in the sauce, especially the mustard notes. I jsut made a little change here: I used lime juice instead of lemon. I like the more fruity notes of lime. The sauce is very creamy and well balanced between sweet and tart or spicy and herbal. Cooking the salmon only in white wine is another great idea. The salmon will be moist and will have enough acidity. Basting with wine will keep it moist. The fish came out perfect and was a real beauty on the plate with the sauce on the side and some capers (I have missed to add them in the photos). As a side I have made ovenbaked potato slices. I mixed them with olive oil, some rosemary and sea salt. I put them together in the oven with the fish, perfect and easy. Thank you for this winning combination and congrats again.

This was fantastic. The sauce tasted yummy cold as well warmed Just could have had less mustard for it was a bit overpowering. I used sock eye salmon. The wine did all evaporate by the time it was done cooking. My fillet had skin so it was removed from the pan with ease. But I do suggest to lightly spray or oil the pan or even lay the fillet on a bed of lemon slices and herbs before baking. I served this on a bed of romaine. Thanks for a great recipe.
