Yield 12 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup dry mustard
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch ground white pepper
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

Place all the ingredients in the container of a blender, blend for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula and process for 30 seconds longer. The mustard should be a little thicker than heavy cream. Store in glass jar, well-sealed, in the refrigerator and let the flavors marry for at least a day before using. The longer it sits, the better it tastes; it also will get thicker and more yellow.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 kg salmon, with skin on in 2 pieces of even size (best are the middle pieces)
2 tablespoons normal salt
3 tablespoons normal white sugar
2 pinches white pepper (careful with this, it's very strong!)
5 tablespoons fresh dill, roughly chopped
1/3 liter cheap dark liquor, to wash salmon (cognac, brandy, whiskey)
2 egg yolks (at room temperature)
4 tablespoons milk mustard (yellow american hot dog style)
2 tablespoons strong mustard (non-grainy Dijon)
4 tablespoons normal white sugar
2 pinches salt
2 pinches ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped without stems
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

Mix salt, sugar, and white pepper to form the seasoning mix.
Preparing storing dish (glass, metal, etc is fine - only has to hold wrapped up fish for 4 days in fridge) by placing a generous amount of aluminium foil on it.
Chop a handful of dill roughly and place 1/4 of it in the dish to form a bed for the salmon to sit on.
Take the two equal size pieces of salmon and wash over the sink with the dark liquor. Pat to dry and place aside.
Using half of the dry mix, rub the mix into one salmon piece to cover all sides. Use the remaining dry mix for the other salmon piece.
Place the first salmon piece skin down on the bed of dill. Place more dill on top and around the sides.
Place the second salmon piece (skin up) on top of the first piece to form a salmon sandwich with dill in between and all around both pieces.
Wrap tightly with the aluminum foil previously laid over the dish.
Place dish in the fridge with a heavy-ish cookbook on top of the wrapped up salmon. Make sure it will evenly distribute its weight over the packed salmon. This is to squeeze the liquid out of the salmon.
Wait two days, drain any liquid out of the dish, flip the salmon pack over and place back in the fridge with the book on top.
Wait another 2 days and voila! You now have gravlax ready to serve. Slice it thinly with a fillet knife (check youtube for technique).
To prepare the mustard dill sauce: Take all ingredients (except olive oil and dill) and whisk together in a bowl. Put olive oil in a container suitable for slowly pouring into the mixture. While whisking, slowing pour in olive oil to ensure it mixes well. Keep whisking. Add the finely chopped dill into the mixture (ensuring there are no stems in the dill). All done!

Tips:

Use fresh herbs: Fresh dill is essential for this sauce. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but the flavor will be less pronounced.

Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be heated through, but it should not be boiling. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its flavor.

Serve the sauce immediately: This sauce is best served immediately after it is made. The flavor will fade if the sauce is allowed to sit for too long.

Use the sauce on a variety of dishes: This sauce is great on fish, chicken, and pork. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or crackers.

Conclusion:

Scandinavian Mustard and Dill Sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that is perfect for a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a sauce to serve with your next fish dinner or you are simply looking for a new and exciting way to dress up your vegetables, Scandinavian Mustard and Dill Sauce is a great option.
