Notes
If you wish, add a little white wine to the sauce when incorporating fish stock and mustard.
While the salmon cooks, parboil or steam 1 carrot, peeled and cut into sticks for 1 to 1½ minutes, and 1 zucchini, cut into long and thin slices, for 1/2 to 1 minute. Drain and serve as garnish.
Steamed asparagus, steamed potatoes or potato mash also make great sides to this recipe.
Salmon is considered a healthy option because of its rich content in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.
