The first time I ate this grilled version of the classic Scandinavian salmon dish, I couldn’t believe how delicious it was. We’ve suggested under-cooking the fish a little, but if your immune system is...

¼ cup sea salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground white pepper
4 bunches fresh dill, coarsely chopped, divided
1½ pound middle cut salmon fillet, bones removed

For the Mustard Dill Sauce

1 tablespoon sweet mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
1½ tablespoons white wine vinegar
¾ cup canola or grape seed oil
¼ cup chopped dill, divided

Chef Tips

When you are going through chemo, it’s very important to keep strong cooking smells to a minimum. Cooking smells, especially from oily fish like salmon, often prove nauseating when you feel ill from chemo, and can put you off eating the food associated with them for years afterwards. This happened to me with salmon, and since it is such a great source of nutrients, I don’t want it to happen to you. This dish can be very pungent if cooked indoors, so if you are on chemo and enjoy eating salmon, either cook it outside, or just wait until you are better before cooking it inside.
