SCANDINAVIAN MUSTARD-DILL SAUCE
Generous ½ cup

Traditional with Gravlax, this can also be served with other smoked, grilled, sautéed, or poached fish.

  • 6 tablespoons Swedish or Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup minced dill
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, to taste
  • ¼ cup lemon juice or red wine vinegar, or to taste
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Generous pinch of ground cardamom

Cover and let stand for 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Serve at room temperature or chilled. The sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days.
