Instructions
Take the salmon out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before you want to cook it.
Add the mustard powder, paprika, garlic and oil to a high sided plate and mix well to combine.
Dry the salmon fillets off with paper towel then add them, flesh side down, to the marinade and coat just the flesh sides well. You can begin cooking immediately or rest for 1/2 an hour. If resting, chill but take it out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add just a dash of oil. Add the salmon skin side down.
Cook 5-6 minutes until you see the bottom half starting to turn a little opaque. Very gently turn (they'll be delicate) and cook for another 4-5 minutes until almost cooked through or until a digital thermometer reads 52C / 125F.
Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl, leaving out the butter.
Add the butter in the pan to melt. Add the sauce. Bring to a simmer and allow to thicken for 1-2 minutes, then serve.

Notes
This recipe is lovely served with a simple salad and rice. Broccoli and asparagus always go well with salmon. Add some lemon wedges to the side or sprinkle with a little fresh parsley to make them extra special.
Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon.
