How to Make Salmon With Chive Mustard Butter
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon orange zest, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
- Lightly butter a baking dish.
- Place salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Brush each fillet with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread 2-2 1/2 tablespoons of the chive mustard butter mixture evenly over each fillet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Transfer the fish to a warm platter.
- Brush any remaining mustard chive butter over the hot fish.
- Garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives.
- Cut each fillet in half and serve immediately.
