FAQs:
-
Can I replace whole-grain mustard with a different variety? Certainly, but substituting with a different variety of mustard will alter the dish’s flavour profile.
-
Is it possible to use regular sour cream instead of reduced fat? Be mindful that it will modify the nutritional content, increasing the calorie and fat content.
-
Can lime juice be used as a substitute for lemon juice? Yes, lime juice can be used, but it will impart a distinct flavour to the dish.
-
How do I ascertain if the salmon is cooked to perfection? The salmon is perfectly cooked when it easily flakes with a fork, and the centre is opaque.
