Instructions

tastes a bit like a Scandinavian holiday!

Season the salmon with salt and pepper and rub it with dill and mustard. Fry it in a pan with oil. Finely chop the onion and fry it in a little olive oil along with about the same amount of dill. Don’t overcook it, or it will become bitter! Add 2 tablespoons of mustard and heat until creamy. Add 1.5 cups of cream and season with salt, pepper, sugar, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Optionally, you can add a little Worcestershire sauce for a pleasantly sweet flavor, similar to that found in Scandinavian cuisine. Serve the salmon with the sauce; I think it goes really well with rice.
