Ingredients

  • Glaze
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp coarse-grained
  • Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp dill seed
  • 1/4 tsp freshly
  • Ground pepper
  • 2 lbs Pacific salmon fillets
  • Lemon pepper, to taste
  • Canola oil cooking spray

Preparation

  1. Combine glaze ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well. Refrigerate until you’re ready to coat the salmon fillets.
  2. Cut fillets into serving-sized portions and place skin side down on pieces of aluminum foil sprayed with canola oil. Shape foil into trays that are slightly larger than the fillets.
  3. Spoon a generous amount of glaze on top of each fillet, followed by a generous sprinkling of lemon pepper.
  4. Grill fillets at 300°F in a preheated barbecue (lid down) for 10 to 12 minutes per inch of fillet thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with a mixed green salad topped with chopped green onions and Parmesan cheese; croutons are optional. A potato salad is also a nice addition.
