Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons, sliced thin
1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
3 lbs salmon fillets, skin on
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 1/2 cup gin or 1/2 cup aquavit
2 tablespoons coarse grain mustard (to taste)
1 cup light cream

1
Grease bottom of a medium roasting pan with the oil; spread with lemon slices in a single layer.
2
Pile dill in center where you will place the fish; place fish on top of dill, skin side up.
3
With a sharp knife, score fish.
4
Combine brown sugar, salt, and pepper; rub mixture all over fish, pushing into the cuts; let fish rest about 30 minutes.
5
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F and roast fish until it is just cooked through and the skin is crispy, about 20 minutes.
6
Remove fish to a serving platter, leaving the lemons and dill in the pan.
7
Place pan on stove top over one or two burners and heat on low until lemons sizzle, remove from heat; slowly stir in vodka, or other spirits, and loosen browned bits on bottom of pan.
8
Return pan to heat and cook off most of the liquid; stir in mustard and cream.
9
Allow to bubble gently, cooking and stirring, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (a couple of minutes).
10
Taste for seasonings, adjust as necessary, and pour over fish.
