Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Steaks

  • 4 fresh salmon steaks (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Creamy Mustard Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Smoked Turkey Bacon

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon

Garnishes and Optional

  • Extra fresh dill for garnish
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prep and Season the Salmon Steaks: Pat the salmon steaks dry with a clean towel. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. This seasoning enhances the natural flavor of the salmon.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard (natural), plant-based mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar (natural), and chopped fresh dill. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir in the natural gelling agent until the sauce is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  3. Grill the Salmon Steaks: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the salmon steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and grill marks appear.
  4. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: While the salmon grills, heat a separate pan over medium heat and cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Set aside for topping the dish.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Place the grilled salmon steaks on serving plates. Drizzle generously with the creamy mustard sauce and top with crispy smoked turkey bacon pieces. Garnish with extra dill or lemon wedges for a fresh finish.

Notes

  • Always use the freshest salmon steaks available for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook salmon; grill until it flakes easily to keep it moist and tender.
  • Ensure the grill is preheated properly to achieve perfect sear marks and prevent sticking.
  • Let the grilled salmon rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute evenly before serving.
  • Taste and adjust the sauce acidity and seasoning to suit your preference.
