Salmon with grainy mustard is an exquisite dish of Austrian cuisine that combines the tenderness of red fish with the spicy zest of mustard. Austrians are known for their love of harmonious flavors, and this recipe is a testament to that. Baking gives the salmon juiciness, while the mustard crust adds an appetizing texture and rich flavor. This preparation method allows the fish's natural oiliness to shine through, complemented by light onions and aromatic olive oil. The dish pairs wonderfully with white wine and fresh vegetables, suitable for both cozy family dinners and festive occasions.
