5 INGREDIENT SALMON IN A MUSTARD & HONEY CREAM SAUCE
This recipe is so very easy and quick. Perfect for a weeknight dinner but also great for a dinner party. A simple cream sauce made with heavy cream mustard and honey, a touch of dill and seasoned salmon. Now I prefer to cook this right under the broiler, but you can always use an indoor or outdoor grill, or even bake it. Feel free to use what method you prefer. A foil lined baking sheet under the broiler is quick cooking and easy clean up. The sauce cooks in just a few minutes as the salmon cooks. Serve this with Recipe #391590 and a side salad or your favorite green vegetable. I happen to love baby peas with this.

Steps:
- Salmon -- First thing is to remove the salmon from the refrigerator so it can come to room temperature, or take the chill off. I leave the skin on mine, or you or your seafood counter guy (fish monger) can remove the skin if you want. I place a piece of foil on a baking sheet and spray with a non stick spray or you can spray with olive oil too. Place the fish on the foil and season well with salt and pepper.
- Sauce -- As the salmon is coming to room temp, start the sauce. In a small sauce pan on medium high heat, add the cream, honey, and mustard and whisk well to combine everything. Bring it to a light boil and then reduce to medium low and simmer for approximately 7-10 minutes. Make sure to stir the sauce as it comes to a light boil and once the heat is turned down, stir a couple more times. The cream will naturally reduce and thicken.
- Salmon -- As I mentioned, I like to broil this, but you can also bake the salmon or grill it. Use what method you feel most comfortable with. I use the second shelf for broiling; and the salmon will take anywhere from 8-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
- Serve -- Add the fresh dill to the mustard sauce right before serving and drizzle over the salmon. ENJOY!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Lay the salmon skin-side down on top. Set aside.

Season the salmon with salt and white pepper and spoon the remaining sauce over the fish, spreading it evenly all over the top and sides of each fillet.
- Roast just until the fish is opaque in the center, about 7 minutes. Switch to the broiler setting. Broil the fish until browning in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. (Keep your eye on it to avoid burning.) Garnish with chives and serve with the reserved sauce.

Tips
- Choose high-quality salmon fillets for the best results. Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color.
- Do not overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality Dijon mustard. A good Dijon mustard will have a sharp, tangy flavor that will complement the salmon nicely.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half. However, the sauce will be thinner and less rich.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion
This 5-ingredient salmon in a mustard-honey-cream sauce is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the sauce is creamy, tangy, and flavorful. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
