Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the mustard sauce. In a small skillet or saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Mix well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer to serving plates.
Drizzle the mustard sauce over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are generously coated.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
