YUM! That mustard sauce is amazing!!!! This is going into my Best of 2025 file. I had thick filets, so broiled it for the max amount of time. The salmon was cooked perfectly and that sauce was to die for. Love, love, love. The only change to the recipe I'll make for next time is to omit the lemon and dill from the couscous and maybe add pine nuts instead (personal preference). Thank you for posting this delicious recipe!
