Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side-down and sear for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
Transfer the seared salmon fillets to the prepared baking dish, leaving the skin-side down.
Pour the mustard honey cream sauce evenly over the salmon fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
