Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- dash of ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves chopped
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley leaves chopped
- 2 (6 ounce) salmon filets
Instructions
- Prepare the grill. Lightly brush a cold grill grate with oil, then preheat to medium-high heat - about 425°F.
- Mix the sauce. Mix the mustards, oil and honey in a small bowl. Add pepper, tarragon and parsley, stir well.
- Prepare the salmon. Brush the skin side of the salmon with oil. Flip the filets and generously brush the non-skin side with the mustard sauce.
- Grill the salmon. Place the filets on the grill, skin side down. Close the cover and let the fish grill for 6-7 minutes. Using a large, flat spatula carefully flip the filets over, being sure to slide the spatula below the skin so you don't leave it on the grill. Close the cover again and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the skin has started to crisp and the spatula easily slides underneath. The internal temperature should be about 130-135° when you remove it from the grill. After carefully remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for about 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with freshly squeezed lemon and chopped tarragon if desired.
