Glazed Salmon Fillets with Dill Mustard Sauce Recipe

Glazed Salmon Fillets with Dill Mustard Sauce Recipe

  • 2/3 cup white-wine vinegar
  • 1 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill sprigs
  • two 2 1/2- to 3-pound whole salmon fillets with skin, any small bones removed with tweezers
  1. Make glaze and sauce:
  2. In a bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, and brown sugar. Whisk in oil in a stream until emulsified and season with pepper and salt. Mixture may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring mixture to room temperature and whisk before proceeding. Transfer 3/4 cup mixture to a small bowl and stir in soy sauce to make glaze. Whisk dill into remaining mixture to make sauce.
  3. Preheat broiler and grease a broiler pan or jelly-roll pan.
  4. Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry. Arrange fillets, skin sides down, in pan. (Cook 1 at a time if broiler is small.) Brush salmon with glaze and season with pepper and salt. Broil salmon 3 to 4 inches from heat about 8 minutes, or until just cooked through.
  5. Serve salmon warm or at room temperature with sauce.
