Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Arrange the salmon fillets in a baking pan and drizzle with the combined melted butter and olive oil.

  2. 2

    Lay the lemon slices over the tops of the fillets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, make the mustard sauce: in a small saucepan, lightly saute the minced shallot in the 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until softened. Add the white wine and simmer until nearly evaporated.

  4. 4

    Pour in the heavy cream and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the mustard, chives, and parsley, then season with the salt.

  5. 5

    To serve, ladle a pool of sauce onto each plate and set a lemon-topped salmon fillet on top. Garnish with pear tomatoes and parsley sprigs.
