Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly grease the grates. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the cooking creme, chicken broth, and 1 tablespoon of the grainy Dijon mustard. Stir continuously for 3 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and smooth. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Brush the salmon fillets generously with the remaining grainy Dijon mustard. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Place the mustard-glazed salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. (Cook time: 4-6 minutes)

05

Step

Serve the grilled salmon immediately, drizzled generously with the warm mustard-cream sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the mustard-cream sauce just before serving.
Ensure your grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking.
If you don't have a grill, you can pan-sear the salmon in a skillet over medium-high heat, following the same cooking time guidelines.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs in the sauce, such as dill, tarragon, or parsley.
