This creamy Scandinavian-style sauce balances sharp mustard, a touch of sweetness, and fresh dill for a bright finish. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required, making it a quick addition to grilled salmon, roasted potatoes, or cured gravlax. Chilling briefly lets the flavors meld before serving.

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard until smooth.

  2. Add the chopped dill, honey, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, salt, and pepper, and whisk until fully combined.

  3. Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

  4. Stir the sauce once more and adjust salt or lemon zest to taste before serving.
