Ingredients

SALMON

  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) whisky or bourbon
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) molasses
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) whole-grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 lb (450 g) fillet of salmon, skin-on, cut into 4 pieces

MUSTARD MAYONNAISE

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) whole-grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) water

GRILLED VEGETABLES

  • 3/4 lb (340 g) baby potatoes, cut in half
  • 3/4 lb (340 g) asparagus, trimmed
  • 6 green onions cut in half lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil
  • 3 radishes sliced
  • 1 cup (30 g) watercress

Instructions

SALMON

  • In a glass baking dish, whisk together all of the ingredients except the salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the salmon in the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours. Drain and dry the fillets. Set aside on a plate.

MUSTARD MAYONNAISE

  • In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

GRILLED VEGETABLES

  • Place a grill wok on the barbeque. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Oil the grate beside the grill wok for the salmon.
  • Coat the vegetables with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the potatoes in the wok for 10 minutes. Add the asparagus and green onions, and continue cooking for 5 to 8 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, grill the salmon skin-side down for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. It will be medium-rare.
  • Transfer the vegetables to plates, and top with the salmon, radishes, and watercress. Drizzle with the mustard mayonnaise.
