Ingredients
Mustard Dill Sauce:
Method
Line baking sheet with 2 overlapping pieces of plastic wrap.
In bowl, combine dill, salt, sugar and peppercorns. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the salt mixture in centre of prepared pan; place salmon, skin side down, over top. Sprinkle with remaining salt mixture. Fold plastic wrap over fish, wrapping tightly. Place separate baking sheet on fish; weigh down with six 540 ml cans. Refrigerate for 48 hours.
Unwrap fish; under cold running water, rinse off salt mixture. Pat dry; using chef’s knife, thinly slice on 45-degree angle without cutting through skin.
Mustard Dill Sauce: In small bowl, combine honey mustard, oil, dill, Dijon mustard and vinegar.
Serve fish with Mustard Dill Sauce and Seeded Rye Bread.
Test Kitchen Tip: Tightly wrap leftover sliced salmon and refrigerate for up to five days.
