Funny. I hadn't made salmon in eons and had quite forgotten how much I like it. This is a simple recipe and I make double what I need. Served warm the first night and cold with a ceasar salad for lunch or supper the next.
This is the party size version of the recipe. I usually only make about 1.5lb for regular use and scale the recipe back to a 1/2. That will feed 4 nicely.
Salmon with Dijon & Dill Sauce
1 (2 - 3 pound) salmon fillet 1.5 inches thick
3 TBSP extra virgin olive oit
Coarse kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt
3 TBSP minced fresh parsley leaves
2 TBSP Dijon mustard
2 TBSP minced fresh dillweed
2 TSP freshly squeezed lemon juice
In a small bowl mix mayo, sour cream or yogurt, parsley, dill, lemon juice, cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
For oven: Line the bottom of an ungreased broiling pan with aluminum foil and spray broiler rack with vegetable oil cooking spray.
For grill: Spray cooking grid with vegetable oil spray BEFORE LIGHTING!
Preheat oven or grill to 350 degrees.
Wash the salmon and pat dry. Rub well with olive oil, sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper. Place skin side down on to rack or grill.
Close grill or bake in oven for 8 to 12 mins or until meat thermometer reads 140F. Let sit for a few minutes then serve with dijon sauce.
At parties I just put this out on a platter and let people self-serve.
