Scandanavian Mustard and Dill Sauce(Finland)

Submitted by Sharon123

"This tangy, spicy Scandinavian recipe goes great with meaty salmon. Take the time to buy really excellent mustard – the spicier the better. If you have leftovers try spreading a little on a sandwich. From Global Table Adventures."

I think the 'key' ingredient in this recipe is the oil (I used evoo), even though it may not look that way initially. It is the oil that emulsifies this into a sauce and tones down the strong flavours of the mustard, dill and vinegar. The touch of sweetness was very nice. Served over baked salmon.
