4 Kaiser rolls-split, toasted and buttered 4 red lettuce leaves 6 thick bacon slices, cooked until crisp 1/2 granny smith apples, cut into thin slices glaze: 1/4 c plus 2T Dijon mustard 1/4 c horseradish 2 T honey 4 6 oz. skinless salmon fillets vegetable oil for rubbing salt and pepper Light the grill. In a small bowl, mix the mustard, horseradish and honey. Rub the salmon with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon over moderate heat, skinned side down, approx. 3 mins. Turn and grill 3 mins longer, until salmon is nearly cooked through.
