Grilled salmon in a French mustard marinade is probably the most straightforward recipe I know for a successful salmon. The marinade consists of a trill of three mustard ingredients, olive oil, and lemon juice and is perfect for 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, check that the meat is firm, and 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. There is Dijon wholegrain mustard too, and this one will not work. Wholemeal mustard, which has a mild taste, will be suitable for salmon.

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

Lemon juice: lemon juice is suitable only to squeeze from fresh lemons.

Tips and tricks

Before squeezing the lemon, roll your lemons with gentle pressure. Then press the juice out of it more efficiently.
To not burn too much salmon, fry it in a grilled pan on a slow fire. In the end, to make him blush, you can emphasize the fire.
It is always on a tray or in a special basket when grilling salmon. The fish are gently placed on the grill and will fall apart.
The next day, you can either use cold salmon in a paste for sandwiches or in a salad with grilled salmon.
