Chef's Notes



Additions and Substitutions. Use honey or brown sugar in place of the maple syrup if you like. For a thinner, glaze-style sauce, reduce the mustard by half and use a pastry brush to brush a thin layer over the fish. Use more lemon juice if you like a brighter sauce. 
Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Leftover salmon is great on a simple salad - no need to reheat!
What kind of mustard should I use? Thicker, smoother mustards (like yellow mustard or creamy Dijon) can make a thicker sauce and may form a thin layer on top of your salmon. There's nothing wrong with this thin "skin" of sauce (it tastes great!) but if you don't like the look of it, be sure to use a grainy/textured Dijon mustard variety.
