Ingredients

For glaze and sauce

2/3 cup white-wine vinegar
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 cups vegetable oil
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill sprigs
two 2 1/2- to 3-pound whole salmon fillets with skin, any small bones removed with tweezers

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make glaze and sauce:

    Step 2

    In a bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, and brown sugar. Whisk in oil in a stream until emulsified and season with pepper and salt. Mixture may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring mixture to room temperature and whisk before proceeding. Transfer 3/4 cup mixture to a small bowl and stir in soy sauce to make glaze. Whisk dill into remaining mixture to make sauce.

    Step 3

    Preheat broiler and grease a broiler pan or jelly-roll pan.

    Step 4

    Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry. Arrange fillets, skin sides down, in pan. (Cook 1 at a time if broiler is small.) Brush salmon with glaze and season with pepper and salt. Broil salmon 3 to 4 inches from heat about 8 minutes, or until just cooked through.

    Step 5

    Serve salmon warm or at room temperature with sauce.
