Salmon with Honey Mustard sauce

I love to cook! I am always coming up with new recipes in my head. Sauces can make any plain meal something fabul0us! Carrie my room mate and I had decided that we were going to have a salmon night, so tonight we did. We took a trip to the Sunflower Market and bought all our ingredients. After some preperation and time dinner was served. It was delightful. We had Bernaise sauce, Cucumber Dill sauce, and a new favorite Honey Mustard sauce to go with our Salmon and our Asparagus. I think it was good enough to share with others. Now this is a rough estimate considering i never measure anything. Enjoy!!
Auddies Honey Mustard Sauce
2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
2 Tablespoons Whole Grain Mustard
4 Tablespoons Honey
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon finley grated Lemon Zest
1 Teaspoon Pepper
and a pinch of salt
Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl and searve
Bernaise Sauce
1 c. butter4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
4 tsp. tarragon vinegar
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
2 tsp. chopped chives
Place 1/2 cup butter in top of double boiler with egg yolks and vinegar, stirring constantly over hot (not boiling) water, until butter is melted. Add rest of butter, stir until thick. Remove from heat; add pepper, parsley, and chives. Serve immediately. Makes about 2 cups.
Cucumber Dill Sauce
2 cups sour cream
1/2 the juice of one lemon
1 Tablespoon finley grated lemon zest
1 cucumber peeled and seeds removed small chop
4 Tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
2 Tablespoons small Chives finley chopped
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and it is ready to serve. It is better if it is prepared a couple hours previous so that it has time to get all all the ingredients marinated together.

  2. Hey guys, I was also thinking that you could make the honey mustard sauce into a vineagrette for salads by adding a little vineager and adding a couple tablespoons extra of the olive oil.
