Lemon Dill Salmon with Stone Ground Mustard

This lemon dill salmon recipe is packed with bright and bold flavors. While it's super simple to execute, it is definitely a show-stopper!

Who doesn't love a great lemon dill salmon dish? There's just something about the balance of rich salmon with the brightness and acidity of lemon and dill. This recipe adds a new twist to the classic flavor profile... Mustard! But not just any mustard. Take a splurge and buy the highest quality stone ground mustard you can get your hands on.

Wait... Mayo? Really?

Yes, really. I know, it's not low fat. But let's be honest... the most delicious stuff in life usually isn't. And keep in mind, this isn't an everyday meal. This is the type of meal you serve when entertaining guests. It definitely has that "Wow!" factor.

But Why the Mayo?

The mayo helps take this dish to the next level. First, the mayo will keep the salmon incredibly moist - no surprise, there's oil in mayo. It will also help create an incredible crust once the high heat of the broiler hits it. So my advice - don't skimp too much (meaning at all) on the mayo! But here's the best part- No one will even know that it's in there. There's not the slightest hint of mayo taste, so just keep that between me and you.

Notes

While salmon is under broiler, pay close attention as it cooks to prevent burning. You may want to rotate it several times, which may add a minute or two to the broiling cook time.
