Sweet honey and hot mustard are wonderfully balanced in this Dijon sauce that pairs nicely with salmon. Try the sauce over other types of fish as well as grilled or roasted chicken and pork. We used pink salmon fillets, also known as humpback salmon, in this recipe because they are less fatty than some other salmon varieties like coho and sockeye. You can substitute a different type of salmon, if you like, but it may impact nutrition values. If the fish flakes when pierced lightly with a fork in the thickest part of the fillet, that’s your sign the salmon is done. You can use any leftover salmon or sauce to top a fresh salad.
