Ingredients

• 4 skinless salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley

Here's how to make it:

1. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a sauce pot. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook about 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and mustard. Cook about 2 minutes more. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice and chopped parsley. 
2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Put the fillets into a greased baking dish. Pour the sauce around the fillets. Bake in a preheated 425-degree F oven for about 10 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Baking time will vary depending on how thick your salmon fillets are and your oven. The USDA recommends baking salmon to 145 degrees F internal temperature on a food thermometer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave.
