FAQ
Our expert answers your questions
Why the mustard-and-dill pairing with salmon?
The pairing is established in Scandinavian cuisines (Sweden, Norway, Denmark), where it traditionally accompanies salmon (gravlax, smoked salmon). The mustard brings a spicy, acidic dimension that balances the richness of the salmon. Dill, the emblematic herb of the North, adds its characteristic herbaceous freshness.
Which mustard is used?
Balik uses a mild mustard, which balances the sweet mellowness with a spicy character. Unlike very strong mustards (Dijon, for instance), this mustard lets the salmon express itself without dominating it. The exact composition is given on the label.
Can this sauce be used for other preparations?
Yes, its versatility is one of the qualities of this sauce. Beyond salmon, it pairs very well with warm potatoes (in a salad), hard-boiled eggs, certain grilled fine-fleshed fish, even cold roast chicken. It is a benchmark sauce to keep in the refrigerator for many occasions.
How long does it keep once opened?
Once opened, keep the sauce in the refrigerator in its resealed container, and consume it within 4 weeks. The presence of mustard and vinegar helps extend its shelf life, but the freshness of the dill gradually fades after opening.
Balik Dill Mustard
The Balik Mustard and Dill Sauce is the signature accompaniment of the House of Balik. Made to a traditional Swiss recipe, this sauce balances the sweet mellowness of the mustard with the herbaceous freshness of the dill. It is the established accompaniment to smoked salmon, particularly in Scandinavian dishes such as gravlax.
The aromatic profile is balanced: pronounced enough to bring dimension to the dish, mellow enough not to mask the finesse of the salmon. It is this mastery that sets the Balik sauce apart from more aggressive mustards or generic dill sauces.
Ideal for accompanying slices of Balik smoked salmon (Tsar Nikolaj, Sjomga, Overture), gravlax, but also garnished blinis and certain cold fish-based preparations.
