Dill is a favourite seasoning for salmon; here, it's complemented by spicy mustard seeds and cumin. Mayonnaise helps the spices adhere to the salmon, adds moistness and prevents the fish from sticking to the grate.

Ingredients

1/4 cup (50 mL) mayonnaise

1 tbsp (15 mL) plain yogurt

2 tsp (10 mL) mustard seeds

Pinch (or to taste) cayenne pepper

1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) ground cumin

1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped fresh dill

3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt

1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice

6 salmon fillets (6 oz/175 g each), skin on, or 6 salmon steaks

Preparation

Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard seeds, cayenne, cumin, dill, salt and lemon juice in a large bowl. (Make-Ahead: Can be made several hours in advance, covered and reserved in refrigerator.)

Add salmon to mayonnaise mixture and turn to coat evenly. Preheat grill to medium-high (or preheat broiler). Grill salmon, skin side up, for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer or just until middle of salmon is opaque when pierced with small knife. Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates.

Makes 6 servings.

Serving(s): 6
