Best Ever Salmon Sauce

Get your forks ready because this salmon is about to be dressed up in a delicious sauce that brings the flavor party right to your plate. The star of the dish is, of course, our friend the salmon, but let’s not forget about the magical sauce that makes everything better!

Best Ever Salmon Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (because we like things fresh and fancy)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for that zesty kick)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (just in case you want to show off)

Instructions:

  1. First things first, preheat that oven to 400°F (that’s 200°C for our friends across the pond).
  2. Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. This is the part where you channel your inner chef and give those fillets a little love!
  3. Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. It’s like giving them a comfy bed to lay on while they cook.
  4. Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes. You know it’s ready when it flakes easily with a fork. Just don’t fall asleep waiting for it!
  5. While the salmon is doing its thing in the oven, let’s whip up that incredible sauce. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, Dijon mustard, dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir it over medium heat until it’s well combined and slightly thickened. Your kitchen will start smelling absolutely divine!
  6. Once your salmon is done baking, drizzle that amazing sauce over the top. You can be generous here; this sauce is like the cherry on top of a sundae.
  7. Serve with some lemon wedges on the side because a little extra zing never hurt anyone. Dig in and enjoy! You’ve officially mastered the salmon sauce!

Now, go pat yourself on the back because you’ve just created a dish that’s not just food; it’s an experience! Your dinner table is about to become the favorite spot in the house. Happy cooking!
