Grilled salmon in a French wholegrain mustard marinade is probably the simplest recipe for successful salmon. The marinade consists of three types of mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice, and it’s perfect for creating the perfect salmon.

How to choose the best ingredients for Grilled Salmon in a Wholegrain Mustard Marinade

Salmon: If you want to choose a good salmon, check the use-by date. If the meat is firm, it means that the salmon is fresh. Fresh fish is the basis of success.

Wholegrain mustard: Wholemeal mustard is perfect for this recipe, but be careful. Dijon wholegrain mustard, too, will not work. Wholemeal mustard, which has a mild taste, is suitable for salmon.

Olive oil: Olive oil is the only extra virgin of the best quality. However, you can replace it with good-quality vegetable oil. I recommend rapeseed oil.

Lemon juice: Lemon juice is suitable only for squeezing fresh lemons.

Tips and tricks

Before squeezing the lemon, roll it gently. Then, press the juice out more efficiently.
To avoid burning less salmon, fry it in a grilled pan on a slow fire. In the end, you can emphasize the fire to make him blush.
When grilling salmon, it’s important always to use a tray or a special basket. This ensures that the fish is gently placed on the grill, preventing it from falling apart and giving you confidence in your skills.
The next day, you can use cold salmon in a paste for sandwiches or in a salad with grilled salmon.
