Ingredients 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon honey 1 shallot, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced ½ teaspoon saffron threads ½ teaspoon curry powder ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil 8 radishes, trimmed and quartered 2 cups watercress, roughly chopped ½ cup curly parsley sprigs, plus more for garnish Directions Heat a medium pot over medium-high. Add mussels and 1 tablespoon pepper; stir to combine. Cover pot and steam until shells open and mussels are cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cooked mussels to a bowl or rimmed baking sheet and let cool. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled.
