Hovmästarsås

A classic accompaniment to gravlax, hovmästarsås is also a good condiment for other fish and seafood. And it comes together in a snap. Another name for it is gravlaxsås.

Makes about 3/4 cup

• Dijon mustard -- 1/4 cup
• White or red wine vinegar -- 1 tablespoon
• Sugar -- 1 tablespoon
• Salt and pepper -- a pinch of each
• Vegetable oil -- 1/2 cup
• Fresh dill, chopped -- 2-3 tablespoons

Method

1. Mix the mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper together well in a medium-sized bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil.
