This is a terrific way to fix grilled salmon steaks, and it's so easy to do. The marinade mellows the fish flavor, and the dill sauce is a wonderful complement. I once served this recipe to 12 people from the Pacific Northwest who declared it was the best salmon they'd ever eaten! -Deb Essen, Victor, Montana

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dill weed
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper, optional
  • 4 salmon steaks (1-inch thick and 6 ounces each)
  • MUSTARD DILL SAUCE:
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons dill weed
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, optional

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the first 5 ingredients. Add salmon; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
  2. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients; cover and refrigerate until chilled.
