Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon:
- 2 salmon steaks
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Creamy Mustard Chive Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Grill: Heat an outdoor grill or a grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot enough for a good sear on the salmon steaks.
- Season the Salmon: Brush both sides of the salmon steaks with avocado oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor, then season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon steaks on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side depending on thickness, flipping carefully with a spatula to avoid breaking the fish.
- Make the Sauce: While the salmon is grilling, mix together stone-ground mustard, Greek yogurt, finely chopped chives, honey, fresh lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Once the salmon is cooked through with a nice char and moist interior, plate the steaks and generously drizzle the creamy mustard chive sauce over the top before serving.
Notes
- Use a spatula to flip the salmon to keep the delicate steaks intact and prevent them from falling apart.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative.
- Adjust salt and pepper in the sauce and seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
- This simple yet flavorful dish makes a perfect quick summer dinner.
- Pair with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
