Salmon with Gluten Free Dijon Sauce

Try something new for dinner tonight. This broiled salmon is deliciously basted with a specially seasoned butter, then topped with a full flavored cream sauce. No gluten here which makes for an ideal recipe the whole family can enjoy. Here’s a peek into my kitchen as I prepared this delicious and healthy dish. 

First, preheat broiler.

Brush the broiler pan with oil.

Mix 1 teaspoon of mustard and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika into softened butter. Divide basting butter to top each piece of salmon. Then, place skin side down on the broiler.

Broil for about 5 minutes. Then turn over, gently peel away the skin with a spatula and discard.  Broil salmon for an additional 4-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine onions, basil, wine, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring and reduce about 3 minutes. (Reduction is the method of boiling and evaporating the liquid for a more concentrated flavor and  thicker consistency.) Then turn heat to low and add the remaining stick of butter. Stir while the sauce thickens. Finally, stir in 2 tablespoons of mustard and a dash of pepper.

 Spoon sauce over each piece of salmon.

And in only 25 minutes, our beautiful, elegant, and delicious salmon is ready to devour. Bon appétit!
