I’m currently working in a commercial kitchen and when preparing the food, I often hear these words…”now you are thinking like a chef” when I do something outside of the ordinary. I can share that this recipe is one of those kind of “thinking outside of ordinary” kind of recipes.
When I found this salmon with mustard sauce recipe, I knew I had to make it. When I made the salmon, I felt like this is one of those recipes that can take a home cook and make them look like a professional chef. If you eat salmon, you will find that this recipe is one of the easiest fish recipes you can make with amazing results and I promise your friends will be very impressed.
For presentation, you can use springs of thyme or lemon slices on the plate. I plated mine on a platter for the photo and used sprouts, only because I had some in the refrigerator.
My salmon was purchased at costco, they had “wild salmon” and I was so happy to see that as I always prefer to purchase wild over farm fed. I had to remove the skin and I had to portion out the salmon but it was all worth it. Mustard really compliments salmon so I knew this was a winner…and I was right.
Let me know what you think of this recipe.
Here is the salmon on the baking sheet with the aluminum foil…easy clean up!
And here is the finished meal..an easy and elegant dinner to impress all your friends!

Directions
- Preheat your oven on broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.

- Cut your salmon into your 4-5 oz portions and place on foil. Drizzle your olive oil, then squeeze your 1/2 lemon juice on, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
