BEST MUSTARD EVER

Steps:

• In a small, microwave-proof bowl whisk together the dry mustard, brown sugar, salt, turmeric, paprika and garlic powder. In a separate container, combine the pickle juice, water and cider vinegar and have standing by. Place the mustard seed into a spice grinder and grind for a minimum of 1 minute, stopping to pulse occasionally. Once ground, immediately add the mustard to the bowl with the dry ingredients and add the liquid mixture. Whisk to combine. Place the bowl into the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and puree with a stick blender for 1 minute. Pour into a glass jar or container and allow to cool uncovered. Once cool, cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

• For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon fillets with the salt and rub with the oil. Place on the hot grill, flesh-side down, and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Using a fish spatula, flip the salmon and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove the salmon to a platter. Unwrap the mustard butter and slice thinly. Place a few slices on each fillet. Cover the fillets with foil to keep warm while preparing the lobster.
• For the lobster: Sprinkle the lobster tails with the salt and drizzle with the oil. Place on the grill, meat-side down, and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
