GRILLED SALMON STEAKS

Category: Seafood and Fish - Grilled

Salmon Steaks:
4 salmon steaks, about 1 inch thick
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup minced fresh dill
Freshly ground black pepper

Sauce:
1 cup Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp minced fresh dill
1 tsp vegetable oil

TO MAKE THE STEAKS: Place the salmon steaks into a glass or ceramic dish that will hold all of them, close together, in one layer. Put a tablespoon of sugar, salt, and dill on top of each of the salmon steaks and press the mixture into the salmon meat. Grind a little fresh pepper onto each steak. Then turn the steaks over and repeat seasoning. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it into the refrigerator for 24 hours.

TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl. The sauce can also be made 24 hours ahead and held in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Ready your outdoor or indoor grill for cooking, or preheat your oven broiler. Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade and grill them for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the degree of doneness that you like. Serve with the mustard and dill sauce. Serves 4
