Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Steaks

  • 2 salmon steaks
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

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

  1. Prepare the Grill: Heat an outdoor grill or a grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat until hot and ready for cooking.
  2. Season Salmon: Brush both sides of the salmon steaks evenly with avocado oil. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Grill Salmon: Place the salmon steaks on the hot grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on one side, depending on thickness. Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula placed underneath to avoid breaking the fish, then grill the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred.
  4. Prepare Sauce: While the salmon cooks, mix together stone-ground mustard, Greek yogurt, finely chopped chives, honey, fresh lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined and creamy.
  5. Serve: Plate the grilled salmon steaks and generously drizzle the creamy mustard chive sauce over the top. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a spatula rather than tongs to flip the salmon steaks gently to avoid them falling apart.
  • This recipe works well with either an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan.
  • The creamy mustard chive sauce adds a refreshing tang that complements the smoky grilled flavor.
  • Salmon steaks retain moisture and remain tender when grilled properly, making them perfect for summer meals.
