Got something to say?
This needs a sprinkle of salt to give it zip and something to give it heat above that from the mustard. I found the lime, honey and olive oil wonderful, but the mustard flavor was a bit strong. Next time, I’ll try a drop or two of sesame oil and perhaps a dash of red curry paste.
Note: Time cooking upon the thickness of the fish; 6-8 minutes is too long for fish 1″ thick, if you want it to turn out succulent and tender. As always, eyeball it and whatever you do, don’t let it cook long enough to dry out. If you oil the hot bbq grill (carefully, with a thick cloth!!) you can flip the salmon top side first, cook for about 3 minutes, then flip it for another two minutes or so before removing to a plate. Those grill marks are beautiful!
