Dijon Crusted Salmon Recipe – 3 ingredients
Ingredients
Substitution
Note
- 1 tablespoon Dijon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
-
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut sugar
brown sugar or raw cane sugar
Divide the sugar into 2 equal portions
-
10oz (wild) salmon, center cut
- I used 5oz filets
- spray olive oil
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
-
1 tablespoon avocado oil
- You can use any type of oil but I highly recommend neutral flavored oil with a high smoke point.
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 350F / 177C.
Step 2
Mix together the ingredients for the sauce, using only 1/2 of the measured coconut sugar, and set aside.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Lightly spray with oil then sprinkle on sea salt & pepper.
Step 3
Set a stainless steel, cast iron, or carbon steel pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and then add the salmon skin-side UP.
Sear in the skillet for about 3 minutes, or until the salmon easily lifts off the skillet. Then flip the salmon over.
Step 4
Remove the skillet from the heat and rub on sauce on top of the salmon. Then sprinkle the remaining coconut sugar on top.
Bake for 3 – 6 minutes in the oven, or until you reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 5
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot!
Enjoy with your choice of grain and vegetable – I’m using basmati rice and steamed broccoli.
