Description
Homemade salmon with a creamy dill mustard sauce brings Nordic coastal flavors to your dinner table. Quick preparation meets elegant dining, offering you a delightful culinary experience with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon filets
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tsp coarse grain mustard
- 1 tsp dill, chopped
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare oven to 400°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Position salmon filets on the prepared baking sheet, then generously season with salt and pepper.
- Distribute panko breadcrumbs evenly across the surface of each salmon filet, creating a light, crispy coating.
- Roast salmon in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, checking for a flaky texture that indicates complete cooking.
- During salmon’s cooking time, craft the creamy dill mustard sauce by combining sour cream, chicken broth, mustard, and fresh dill in a small saucepan.
- Heat sauce mixture over medium-low temperature, stirring continuously to prevent scorching and encourage smooth blending of flavors.
- Reduce sauce slightly until it reaches a silky, slightly thickened consistency, seasoning with additional salt and pepper to enhance taste.
- Remove salmon from oven and plate immediately, generously drizzling the warm dill mustard sauce over the top of each filet.
- Serve hot, allowing the sauce to complement the tender, flaky salmon.
Notes
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture, ensuring the fish is moist and flaky after baking.
- Swap panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond meal or crushed gluten-free crackers for a celiac-friendly version.
- Adjust the sauce consistency by adding more chicken broth for a thinner sauce or reducing longer for a thicker, more concentrated flavor.
- Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternatives like coconut yogurt to accommodate different dietary preferences and create a lighter sauce.
