1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill

Grandma's Secret Trick

To get rid of the bones in a salmon fillet, Grandma ran her finger against the grain on a piece of salmon to make the bones pop up. She then pulled them out, using a pair of tweezers, and discarded the bones.
