Salmon in Orange Dijon Cream Sauce Recipe

  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 6 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
  • 1 lemon, sliced (optional)
  1. Combine heavy cream, milk, water, orange juice, butter, mustard, honey, and salt in a pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens, 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. Transfer salmon to a serving plate and top with sauce. Squeeze lemon slices over salmon.
