Ingredients

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, drained
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pound fillet salmon, skin on
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 bunch watercress, coarsely chopped
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons aged sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Whisk together the mustards, honey, horseradish, mint and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl. Let sit for at least 15 minutes before using. Can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated but do not add the mint until just before using. Bring to room temperature before using.

Heat the grill to high.

Brush the salmon with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down, and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3 minutes.

While the salmon is cooking, place the watercress and onion in a medium bowl, add the vinegar and oil and salt and pepper and toss to combine. Transfer the salad to a platter, top with the salmon fillet and drizzle each fillet with the mustard sauce.

Flavorful, Perfect Salmon
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe 6-7 times now, so I can attest that it is easy, perfect, delicious, and virtually can't be messed up.... I've tried different variations on the original recipe so I'll share them with you. I always use spinach instead of watercress and it's perfect. For the "prepared horseradish" I use about a tsp of Wasabi instead. Instead of the aged sherry vinegar, I use aged balsamic vinegar, and I actually prefer the balsamic over the sherry vinegar. Lastly, I find that even if I omit the mint - the recipe is still perfect. This is my husband's #1 favorite dish. And yet easy and healthy!Read more

Great Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The flavors in the sauce are wonderful. However, we made some modification to the "greens" portion. Instead of watercress,... we used mixed greens (yes, that horrid, grocery-store, bagged type); added mushrooms, some cherry tomatoes - sliced in half, and sliced avacado in addition to those wonderful red onions. This is the best salmon dish I've ever made!Read more

Best recipe for Fillet
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We prepared a slightly larger fillet--3 lbs for our July 4 party. It was a huge hit--with not a speck left over. We did a... few things differently. The fish was larger and pretty thick and we grilled it for 10 minutes. Instead of watercress, we used spinach. I cut the fish into serving portions and placed it on the plate since the fish was too large to move. The spinach really made this dish and the sauce was spicy and sweet at the same time. With it we served potato salad and Bobby Flay's grilled summer vegetables. For dessert I made a Blueberry Buckle from Gourmet Mag......It was a great way to celebrate the 4th.Read more

Bobby never fails to deliver!!! BEST Salmon EVER!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

With the exception of Anonymous below... I want to take all the reviews and just repeat what y'all have said! We have a... charcoal grill so instead of placing the fillet directly on the grates (to avoid sticking) I used a grilling pan I have. (I have used the mustard sauce with ham, roast beef - whatever you dress with it becomes outstanding!) We cook salmon year round... this is cat's meow of salmon! Thanks Bobby! Read more
