Grilled Salmon with Honey Mustard
Recipe for grilled salmon
Ingredients
- 3 pounds salmon
- olive oil
- to taste salt & pepper
- 1/2 cup wildflower honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
Instructions
We cut the salmon into eight pieces. We then rub each piece with olive oil and salt & pepper. We place the salmon onto a hot grill. We also put some vegetables on the grill to serve as a side. We cook the salmon for about five minutes, then flip. After another five minutes we flip again. The salmon wasn't quite done, so we flipped again, which was probably a mistake - the salmon broke apart when we removed it from the grill.
While the salmon is grilling, we mix the honey, mustard, chili powder and a little salt & pepper in a measuring cup. We drizzle the honey mustard over the salmon when we serve it.

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
Grown-up
Cut the salmon into 8 pieces and rub each with oil, salt and pepper.
Grown-up
Grill on a hot grill about 5 minutes, flip, and grill 5 minutes more, until done. Grill some vegetables alongside. Flip only once; a second flip breaks the pieces apart.
Kid job
Meanwhile, stir the honey, mustard, chili powder and a little salt and pepper in a measuring cup. Drizzle over the salmon to serve.
