This is a
favorite recipe of our bookish scholarly heroine, tossed back to the 17th
century. Rebeka was ecstatic when she found the ingredients for this recipe on
Doward’s wagon (the traveling tradesman). Imagine her surprise when Lord Arik
brought home a fine salmon along with a strong appetite. She couldn’t wait to
tempt him with her offering(s). Luckily for both of them, this recipe takes
less than ten minutes. This is the 21st century version.
PS…Rebeka served
the salmon to Arik in the Great Hall. Tantalized, he licked the sticky glaze
from his fingers never taking his eyes off of her. But that’s a totally
different story that you will find in Knight of Runes.
PPS…My son makes
this recipe whenever he wants to impress his roommates, their parents, his
current lady friend. With a side of whipped potatoes and a vinaigrette salad,
all you need is a decadent chocolate cake to finish off the meal.
Ingredients:
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 2
teaspoons dried)
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and Pepper
Instructions:
1. Preheat the broiler
2. Spray the rack of a broiler pan with
nonstick spray
3. Mix the brown sugar, mustard and dill
together in a small bowl.
4. Salt and pepper both sides of the
salmon and place on the broiler pan and spoon the brown sugar glaze on top.
(You will not use all of it – it keeps forever in the fridge)
5. Position the broiler pan about 7
inches from the heat and broil just until its opaque, about 6 minutes
NOTE: Don’t turn the fillet. The glaze
works well on chicken and pork.
