Salmon with Mustard Maple Sauce Recipe

  • 4 (6- to 7-oz) pieces center-cut salmon fillet (1 1/4 inches thick), skinned
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallion greens
  1. Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté salmon in 2 batches, starting with skinned sides up and turning over once, until just cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes per batch. Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered.
  2. Remove skillet from heat and cool 1 minute. Whisk in remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over salmon.
