Hovmästarsås

[Swedish mustard sauce for gravlax cured salmon]

Hovmästarsås

Hovmästarsås is a sweet and tangy mustard sauce served with cured salmon. I like to use a combination of three different mustards: Dijon, Swedish sweet and strong, and a coarse mustard from Skåne; however you could easily just use 100g of Dijon mustard if that's all that's available to you. You might need to add a touch more sugar to balance it out.
