Creamy Mustard Sauce for Salmon
This easy and quick recipe gives you a super tasty creamy mustard sauce. You can serve this sauce with salmon, other fish or even pork and chicken. It is a very quick recipe and is not difficult to master.
You can make this in a saucepan or frying pan. I normally use my cast iron skillet.
Mustard cream sauce for Salmon
This sauce is a creamy sauce made with Dijon mustard, Wholegrain mustard, White Wine, garlic, parmesan and cream. It is ready in 5-6 minutes and adds a bit of creamy sharpness to the meal which is so different from a lemon butter sauce, for example (also good though!).
Just remember to lower the heat when you add the cream and keep an eye on it afterwards before serving so it does not overheat and curdle.
Sautéeing the salmon
Here I pan-seared the salmon gently in some olive oil which gave it a lovely crispy outside layer, and it was flaky on the inside. It was ready in 6 minutes, 3 minutes per side.
For half of the fillets, I removed the skin before frying to keep my wife happy, and on the others I left the skin on. I find the skin is much easier to remove when the fish has been cooked, if you do not wish to eat it.
But you may want to serve this sauce with some pork chops or chicken instead. Then it will take a bit longer to cook the meat.
I served this up with some steamed cauliflower and baked zucchini and peppers, the latter of which took 15 minutes to cook so I had plenty of time to prepare the fish.
You could also decide to bake or grill the salmon if you prefer, like in my salmon recipe for weight loss, but that would take a bit longer to cook, although it would be healthier than frying.
What to serve on the side?
As mentioned, I served this with some steamed and roasted vegetables. But you can serve this simple meal with a variety of side dishes.
How about some long stem broccoli or some cauliflower cheese instead? Have a look at my Sides section for some other ideas.
This is a really delicious sauce and the combination of tastes goes well together. So well in fact that since I published this blog post I have made it several times!
All the ingredients were from our local supermarket, Aldi, where we buy most of our produce.
I hope you try it as well. It is so easy to make.

Not really a comment but a question. Do you have any suggestions for a wine switch out that’s not alcoholic? Also the cream, is that heavy whipping or something else?

The alcohol evaporates anyway when you are cooking it. But there are non-alcoholic wines available these days. Try one of those (make sure it is white). The recipe calls for single cream - not heavy cream. But you could probably try using a thicker cream if you do not have anything else.
