This super simple preparation lets the rich flavor of king salmon shine, accented by thyme and mustard. Marsh's tip: “If you’re drinking white wine while cooking, add a couple splashes to the pan before baking!”
Ingredients
- 1 pound king salmon
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
- 10 thyme sprigs, equivalent of 4 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon ground mustard seed
- A couple splashes white wine (optional)
Directions
MELT BUTTER
Preheat oven to 275 °F.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
