 MMMMM-----------------------MUSTARD SAUCE----------------------------
       2 tb Butter or margarine
   1 1/2 ts Flour
     1/4 c  Vinegar
     1/4 c  Boiling water

   To prepare salmon, rinse with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels,
   and set aside. Combine lemon juice, white wine, olive oil, capers and
   1/4 teaspoon mustard. Season to taste with salt. Pour over salmon and
   marinate 30 minutes, turning once. Reserve marinade. Blanch lettuce
   leaves in boiling water 5 seconds. Drain well. Arrange 2 leaves with
   stem ends overlapping at center. Spoon about 2 teaspoons marinade
   over lettuce. Place 1 salmon fillet on lettuce. Top with 1 or 2 more
   teaspoons marinade, including some of capers. Roll fillet up. Place 2
   leaves on top and tuck edges under fish. Bring up bottom leaf edges.
   Tie package-style with string. Repeat with remaining lettuce,
   marinade and fillets to make 4 packages in all. Set aside. To make
   sauce, blend butter and flour in top of double boiler until smooth.
   Add vinegar, boiling water, bouillon cube half, 1/4 cup mustard,
   sugar and egg. Cook and stir over hot water until sauce thickens,
   about 10 minutes. Keep warm. Place salmon bundles on well-greased
   grill 4 to 5 inches from hot coals and cook 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and
   cook an additional 5 to 6 minutes. Remove string and serve with
   mustard sauce. ~--
