Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Hot sweet mustard
  • 1/4 cup Minced onion
  • 1 Lemon, juiced
  • 2 tsp Minced fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried dill)
  • 1 tsp Coarse salt
  • 4 Salmon steaks (7 to 8 oz each, about 1 inch thick)
Directions
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, combine the hot sweet mustard, minced onion, lemon juice, dill, and coarse salt to create a smooth paste.
  2. 2
    Pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels. Rub the mustard-dill paste thoroughly over all surfaces of the salmon steaks.
  3. 3
    Wrap the coated salmon steaks tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  4. 4
    Preheat your smoker to a temperature between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121&# 194;°C).
  5. 5
    Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let it sit covered at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before smoking.
  6. 6
    Place the salmon steaks directly on the smoker grates.
  7. 7
    Smoke the salmon until it is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 45 to 55 minutes.
  8. 8
    Transfer the smoked salmon steaks to a serving platter. Serve immediately while hot, or chill for later use.

Note

For best results, use wild-caught salmon steaks for a firmer texture and richer flavor.

If you do not have a smoker, you can bake the salmon in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, though it will lack the smoky character.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavor often improves after chilling.

Adjust the amount of hot mustard based on your preferred spice level.
