Salmon with mustard sauce and asparagus
Description
Preheat the grill to high heat and lightly oil the grates. Prepare the mustard sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, sugar, and vinegar. Divide the sauce between two bowls: use one bowl during grilling and reserve the other for after cooking. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss asparagus with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus in batches, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, 4 to 8 minutes depending on thickness. Set aside. Place salmon steaks on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush each side with the mustard sauce. Grill the salmon, basting occasionally with the sauce, for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and drizzle with the reserved sauce. Serve with asparagus and, if desired, grilled bread.
