Win a Molson Canadian Cider Prize Pack!

With the best months of summer just around the corner, Canadians are looking to relax and have some fun in the sun. And what better way to spend summer days than by grilling up a delicious meal while enjoying an ice cold Molson Canadian Cider. Below is a recipe for Cider and Mustard Salmon and Vegetables, the perfect go-to light meal for the warmer days ahead.

Cooking time: 30 min

Yield: 4 portions

Ingredients

• 4 green onions, finely sliced
• 500 ml (2 cups) snow peas
• 500 ml (2 cups) carrots, julienned
• 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 2 stems of celery, finely sliced
• 675 g (1½ lb) filet of salmon, skin removed
• 45 ml (3 tbsp) Dijon mustard
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) old fashioned mustard
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) honey
• 125 ml (½ cup) Molson Canadian Cider
• Salt and pepper, freshly ground
• 45 ml (3 tbsp) fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation

Preheat the barbecue to high or the oven to 260oC (500oF).
On your counter or work surface, lay out a large rectangle of aluminum foil. Overlay with a slightly smaller rectangle of parchment paper. Arrange the vegetables on the parchment paper and top with the filet of salmon.
In a bowl, mix together the two mustards, honey and Molson Canadian Cider. Season generously and drizzle over the salmon.
Cover with a second rectangle of aluminum foil. Seal around the edges by folding and crimping the two sheets of aluminum foil.
Place the papillote directly on the barbecue grill. If cooking in the oven, place on a baking sheet. In both cases, cook for between 25 and 30 minutes.
Serve the salmon and vegetables with a well chilled Molson Canadian Cider.
