How to Heat & Serve
Oven Method (Recommended)
145°C for 14 minutes
Transfer the salmon and sauce to an oven-safe dish or baking tray. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to retain moisture. Heat at 145°C for 12-15 minutes until the sauce is bubbling gently and the salmon reaches 60°C internally. For an elevated presentation, serve directly from the oven dish at your table—the low temperature preserves the salmon's tender texture and prevents the cream sauce from breaking.
Microwave Method
Medium power for 4 minutes
Open the container lid and place it loosely back on top (not sealed tight). This allows steam to escape while retaining moisture. Microwave on medium power (50-60%) for 3-4 minutes until the sauce is steaming hot and the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 60°C. Let stand for 1 minute before serving. The gentle power level prevents the delicate salmon from overcooking while heating the cream sauce evenly.
Stovetop Method
For the most controlled reheating, transfer the salmon and sauce to a wide skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of water or white wine. Cover and heat over medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon occasionally. This gentle method gives you the most restaurant-quality result, keeping the salmon moist and the sauce silky.
Restaurant Technique Without the Precision Timing
Perfectly cooked salmon requires split-second timing and precise temperature control that most home cooks find intimidating. Overcook by even 2 minutes and you have dry, chalky fish. Our chefs roast each center-cut fillet to exactly 52°C internal temperature, then finish it in the cream sauce—a technique that demands professional experience and constant monitoring. The mustard-tomato cream sauce itself uses the classic French method of deglazing with white wine to capture the fond (those precious caramelized bits), then mounting with butter for restaurant-level richness and gloss. This complexity takes years to master and saves you 45 minutes of active cooking time.
Perfect for elegant dinner parties when you want to impress without kitchen stress, or weeknight meals when you crave sophisticated flavors but lack the time for precise fish cookery. The combination of sharp Dijon mustard, tangy tomatoes, and luxurious cream creates the balanced sauce that defines French bistro cooking—bright acidity cutting through richness so each bite feels refined rather than heavy. Simply reheat gently and serve this centerpiece-worthy dish that would cost €28-35 per person in a quality seafood restaurant. Your guests will never know it took you just 8 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reheat this Grandmother's Heritage Roasted Salmon with Mustard-Tomato Cream Sauce?
Open the container lid and place it loosely back on top. Microwave on medium power (50-60%) for 3-4 minutes until the sauce is steaming and salmon reaches 60°C internally. Let stand 1 minute. Alternatively, transfer to an oven-safe dish and heat at 145°C for 12-15 minutes. The gentle temperature preserves the delicate salmon texture perfectly.
How long will this stay fresh in my fridge?
Keep in the original resealable container at 4°C or below. The salmon stays fresh for 3-4 days after delivery. The cream sauce contains dairy, so consume within this window for optimal food safety and flavor. Look for the sauce to remain smooth and the salmon to have a fresh ocean scent as freshness indicators.
Can I freeze this salmon dish?
Yes, the container is freezer-safe. Seal tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. While the salmon freezes well, cream sauces can occasionally separate slightly when thawed—simply stir gently while reheating to restore the silky texture. Best enjoyed fresh when possible for optimal sauce consistency.
What's the actual portion size?
Each order contains 2 main course portions packaged together in one container. This serves 2 people as a complete main meal. Each portion features a generous center-cut salmon fillet (approximately 180-200g) with ample mustard-tomato cream sauce. If ordering 3 portions, you'll receive one package of 2 plus one separate portion.
Does this contain dairy, fish, or other allergens?
Yes, this dish contains fish (Atlantic salmon), dairy (heavy cream and butter), and mustard (both Dijon and whole grain varieties). It also contains sulfites from the white wine. The sauce is gluten-free, nut-free, and shellfish-free. If you have severe fish or dairy allergies, this dish is not suitable for you.
What should I serve this with for drinks?
Pairs beautifully with a crisp Chablis or unoaked Chardonnay—the wine's minerality complements the salmon while its acidity cuts through the cream sauce. For beer lovers, try a Belgian Saison with citrus notes that echo the dill and balance the mustard's sharpness. Non-alcoholic option: sparkling water with lemon enhances the dish's bright, herbal flavors.
Is this fully cooked and ready to eat?
Yes, this meal arrives fully cooked by our chefs and ready to heat. The salmon has been expertly roasted to tender perfection, and the cream sauce is completely prepared with the fond (flavorful pan drippings) already incorporated. No prep, no cooking skills needed—just gentle reheating in 8 minutes for restaurant-quality results at home.
Why does salmon need such gentle reheating temperatures?
Salmon is a delicate protein with fine muscle fibers that tighten and dry out above 65°C. Professional chefs reheat fish at lower temperatures (145-150°C) to preserve moisture and silky texture. The cream sauce also benefits from gentle heat, preventing separation or curdling. This careful approach ensures your salmon tastes freshly prepared, not overcooked or rubbery.
Storage & Freshness
Refrigeration
Keep in the original resealable container in the refrigerator at 4°C or below. The container is designed to be resealable, so no need for plastic wrap or transferring to another dish. The salmon and cream sauce stay fresh for 3-4 days after delivery. Store away from strong-smelling foods as salmon can absorb odors.
Freezing
The container is freezer-safe for longer storage. Seal the lid tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Label with the date for easy tracking. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating—never thaw at room temperature for food safety. Note that cream sauces can occasionally separate slightly when frozen and thawed; simply stir gently while reheating to restore the smooth, silky consistency. For best quality and sauce texture, enjoy fresh within 3-4 days when possible.
Shelf Life
Best consumed within 4 days of delivery.
