Grilled Salmon Recipe!


This is one of my all-time favourite recipes!!! I think it tastes just as good without the brown sugar...maybe add some honey or agave nectar if you would like that hint of sweetness instead of the sugar. This can also be made in the oven. 


Grilled Salmon with Dilled Mustard Glaze
Food & Wine, June 2000

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp
Yellow mustard seeds
¼ C
Mayonaise
¼ C
Whole grain mustard
1 Tbsp
Finely chopped dill
1 ½ tsp
Fresh lime juice
1 ½ tsp
Dark brown sugar

Freshly ground pepper

Vegetable oil, for grill
1
2 lb Salmon filet, skin on
1 Tbsp
Olive Oil

Salt

Directions:
1.   In a dry skillet, toast the mustard seeds over moderate heat until they darken and begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the mustard, dill, lime juice, and brown sugar. Season with pepper.
2.   Light a gas grill. Lightly brush the grate with oil. Run your fingers over the salmon filet, feeling for bones; use sturdy tweezers to remove any you find.
3.   Brush the skin side of the salmon with the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Set the filet on the grill, skin side down, and spread the mustard glaze over the fish. Sprinkle with the toasted mustard seeds. Close the grill and cook over moderate heat until the glaze is golden and the fish is nearly opaque, about 25 minutes. If the skin begins to char, reduce the heat to low and move the fish to a cooler part of the grill. Transfer the salmon to a platter and serve hot or at room temperate.
