Ingredients
  

  • 5 fillets salmon, skinless about 150g each
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter
  • 1.5 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice optional
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  2. Pat the salmon dry and arrange the fillets in the dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard; pour over fillets and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. While salmon is baking, melt butter in a saucepan, sauté 1½ tablespoons minced garlic until fragrant, then add heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened.
  6. Finish the sauce with a splash of lemon juice and fresh parsley.
  7. Once cooked, let salmon rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle with sauce and garnish with lemon slices.
