Ingredients

1 cup Dijon mustard
2/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon pepper
1 salmon fillet (1 inch thick and 3 pounds), cut in half widthwise

This was delicious. I also put aside some extra marinade to use as sauce at the table. I cooked the fish under the broiler as I did not want to stand outside in the cold rain. It came out perfect! I will definitely make this again.

I served this as the main dish at my parent's anniversary dinner. It was delicious!! The best salmon ever.

I love this recipe! I think the marinade tastes so good that I make extra and use it as a sauce. My favorite way to serve it is with rice and baby carrots. Sometimes I pour a little of the marinade on the baby carrots too. Yummy!
