Food & Wine's Editorial Guidelines Updated on May 23, 2017 Share Tweet Pin Email Richly flavored salmon can stand up to bold flavors, especially when it’s grilled. Here are seven sauces to try. 1. PestoSure, a classic basil pesto is nice, but this cilantro-pecan version is spectacular with grilled salmon. 2. Dill Pickle ButterCould there be a more perfect combination than tangy pickles and luscious butter? As soon as the salmon comes off the grill, spoon a dollop of the butter on top and let it melt. 3. Melted TomatoesFor a supereasy summer dish, cook tomatoes until they’re a bit saucy, then serve grilled salmon on top. 4. Honey MustardTo create a glazed finish, brush salmon with honey mustard that’s been amped up with a little horseradish. 5. KetchupDoctor ketchup with soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and curry to brush on salmon after it grills. 6. TandooriSalmon works beautifully with an Indian-style yogurt marinade, which forms a fantastic crust on the fish. 7. MisoRub and briefly marinate the salmon with miso, lemon and ginger before grilling. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/grilled-salmon-salad-with-miso-vinaigrette Kristin Donnelly is a former Food & Wine editor and author of the forthcoming The Modern Potluck (Clarkson Potter, 2016) and the blog Eat Better, Drink Better.
