This healthy broiled salmon is for you when you need a fast dinner or a fancy dish to impress your guests.
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.
Instructions
First, preheat broiler.
Brush the broiler pan with oil.
Mix 1 teaspoon of mustard and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika into softened butter. Then divide your 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 it 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 the heat to low and add a 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!
I hope you enjoy this dish. It fits right into a keto way of eating, paleo, and gluten-free because it’s low carb. And if you have any questions, please reach out to me in the comments or shoot me an email, and I’ll respond ASAP.
