Salmon With Creamy Mustard Sauce



When I first made this salmon with creamy mustard sauce I was surprised at how good it was. Had it on chicken the next day and thought about putting it on a steak as well. If you love Dijon mustard, you are going to love this creamy sauce. But don’t worry if you aren’t a huge fan of mustard, this sauce has a subtle hint of dijon mustard that just helps give an extra bit of tang to the creaminess of the sauce. Trust me, this is delicious.

SALMON WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE
Recipe by Mark Calaminici | Food Loves Company
Serves 4

Ingredients
4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, skinless
Salt
Freshly cracked pepper
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp per piece of fish
1 shallot, finely diced or chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or diced
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ tbsp. Dijon mustard
3 tbsp chives, finely sliced

Method
1. Blot salmon with paper towel to dry it and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper all over. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil on high heat until hot. Place salmon in pan and cook, about 3-4 minutes per side (cook time will vary based on thickness of fish). TIP: when the side of the salmon is opaque halfway up, flip the fish. Add 1 tbsp of butter per fish and baste to finish cooking and remove when you are happy with your desired doneness. Set aside on a plate covered up to keep warm.

2. In the same pan that you cooked the fish, add shallots, garlic and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Saute until tender. Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan and let that reduce a little bit. Add the cream and let that reduce by half. Depending on how thick you like your sauce you can reduce further. Keep an eye on the pan when you add the cream, you may have to stir to keep it from foaming up. Add the Dijon mustard and mix to incorporate. Just before removing the sauce from the heat, add 1 tbsp of chives and mix that in. At this point, you may add the salmon back to the pan with the sauce to warm everything through, or, you can plate however you like. I like to add a dollop of sauce on the plate, place the salmon on top and add another dollop of sauce on top, garnish with more chives and serve. Enjoy!

Until next time, ciao!

    I was gonna give this video a thumbs down. Nice video, salmon and sauce looks very delicious, I just couldn't understand why everything needs to have profanity in it. Most times I have my daughter watching YouTube videos with me and it pains me that people thinks everyone curses day and night. I have removed that part of my life ever since my first child which is 15 years old, and don't miss it at all, and I want my kids to be able to speak without thinking that a curse word needs to be added to every sentence. Not trying to get on you, your a grown man, I just wish I could enjoy videos with my youngest daughter without the profanity. When they hear it in the street, it's just as long as I'm not the one bringing it into their lives.

    I have made salmon twice with this sauce and it was really good. My ol man usually dont like any type of sauce at all on his but when i had him do a taste test on it he wanted it on his both times lol. He thought it was really yummy. Mine didnt get as thick though. It was way more runny but still good.

    I just made this dish and it was really awesome! 🙂
    I added some honey and tarragon to the sauce and steamed a broccoli and cooked rice to go with it 🙂

    Thanks for the quick and awesome recipe! 🙂

    I used spicy mustard that came from an Asian takeout and leeks since I didn’t have chives. And I blackened my fish first too. Thanks for sharing, me and my husband loved your recipe

    I made this for dinner tonight, it Was delicious. I had ordered this at a restaurant and loved it and I was on the hunt for a flourless sauce. This was awesome.

    Boom! Good show and recipe. Followed your directions except I adjusted to for 6 people and really reduced a lot for a really thick mustard sauce. I also added some white wine which I felt was needed after tasting but I do agree with you that you can definitely drink the stuff. I was a hit and I will do it again. Thanks and keep up the humor!
