Wholegrain Mustard Sauce

Creamy wholegrain mustard sauce for salmon is such a delicious sauce to round off the salmon. This recipe of mine is also one from my very first job. Funny now how one looks back and remember while putting my recipes and blog together! Although salmon is a bit of a more pricey fish, it is indeed full of omega 3 oils and therefor very important for health reasons. The Cinzano or Martini alcohol in this specific creamy wholegrain mustard sauce gives this sauce a lovely taste which accompany this fish dish as its best. You can definitely serve this sauce and salmon with lovely plain basmati rice, risotto rice, or on pasta. For another lovely sauce for Salmon, try the Chardonnay Cream Sauce.
