Crispy Mustard Dill Salmon is so easy to make. You can have perfect, flaky salmon to crumble over your salad for lunch or serve hot and fresh with rice and vegetables for a healthy, delicious dinner.
This Crispy Mustard Dill Salmon recipe calls for salmon filets with the skin removed. Many fish butchers will be more than happy to remove the skin for you if you request it. Did you know that you can even take your fresh salmon that is already packed into the tray and wrapped and priced, back to the butcher counter and they will open it up and skin it for you? Never be afraid to ask for service when you need it! And of course, tip accordingly.
If you do decide to skin it at home, I suggest you use a non-serrated knife, with a long, thin blade. Place the salmon fillet on the cutting board skin side up. Lay the palm of one hand on the skin to put a little pressure there while you gently guide the knife through the fat layer between the skin and the meat. Let the knife be guided by the feel of the fish. If you are putting too much pressure, then you will cut through either the skin or the flesh. If this sounds too complicated (and it does take practice), go back to the first suggestion. Take those fillets to the butcher before you ever leave the store!
All of the seasoning in this Crispy Mustard Dill Salmon Recipe is intended to be divided between each filet, front and back. So for convenience, I’m including here the measurements for each side of each fillet. Per fillet, per side, you need: ⅛ tsp Kosher Salt, Pinch Black Pepper (1/16 tsp), ½ tsp Dry Mustard Powder, ⅛ tsp Dill. Also, I fried two fillets at a time in 1 Tablespoon of oil per batch.
