For the cure
- 2 lb skin-on salmon fillet, pin bones removed

- 1 large bunch fresh dill (about 2 oz / 55 g), roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
For the mustard sauce
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

For serving
- gluten free crackers or cucumber slices, for serving (optional)
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
