  • Start the preparation of the salmon medallions with mustard, honey, and lemon by placing all the ingredients for the sauce in a small blender.
    Blend for a few seconds until a stable emulsion has formed, a fairly thick sauce.

  • Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and set aside.
    You can also do this operation by hand by vigorously mixing all the ingredients with a whisk.

  • Now form the salmon medallions: remove the central “bone” with a knife and any bones with special tweezers. Also remove the skin at the lower ends.

  • Wrap the lower ends of the piece on themselves and “seal” everything with some kitchen twine.

  • Transfer the salmon medallions to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush them with the mustard, honey, and lemon sauce.

  • Bake the medallions in a static oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.
    Remove the fish from the oven and brush it again with the sauce.

  • Finish the preparation with some chopped chives.

  • Immediately serve the salmon medallions with mustard, honey, and lemon along with their sauce.
