One of the most popular recipes on The Cookie Rookie is my Salmon with Avocado Salsa. I’ve been trying to top it ever since I made it back in 2013. I’ve made tons of easy salmon recipes, but so far, no luck…until now!
I’m not saying this Parmesan Crusted White Wine Dijon Salmon is better than the Salmon with Avocado, because they’re so so so very different (one is Whole 30 approved…and this one isn’t haha), but the flavors in this Parmesan Salmon are out of this world. It is definitely just as tasty in different ways.
This Parmesan Crusted Salmon may not be quite as healthy as the other recipe, but man it is SO GOOD! Lucky for us it’s super easy, sure to please the entire family, and incredibly full of flavor.
And this white wine sauce for the salmon is SO GOOD! I could eat it with a spoon. You’ll agree once you try it!

Made this last night. Excellent. Substituted boneless skinless chicken breast halves for salmon, just increased (convection) roasting time to 40 minutes. Sauce was excellent, although just to change it up, might try serving the chicken on a bed of warmed marinara next time.
I would love to make this but it doesn’t say when to add the wine in. Wish this person was managing her blog better since others were asking before me even.
Not sure if the recipe was edited since initial post, but now it says to add the wine with the Dijon, crushed bullion cube and Worcestershire sauce.
So delicious. I will try make it
At what point do you add the wine? Does that go in at the same time as the milk? The instructions do not say….
This salmon is delicious! My husband said this recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks so much!
It’s is delicious!!!
This sounds and looks delicious! The ingredients includes a cup of white wine and the sauce is called white wine Dijon cream sauce but I do not see in the directions when to add the white wine.
I am confused on this as well! Glad I’m not alone! Maybe we just drink the wine while we make the sauce? Lol
Y’all are not alone! I was also confused here…thought I had mis-read! (Or had too much wine while cooking) ;)
According to the Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatball recipe it says:
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Continue whisking while slowly pouring in the milk, cream and pepper. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Add in the Dijon mustard, crushed bouillon cube and Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Once the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and stir in wine and Parmesan (if using). Stir until cheese has melted.
These are so adorable! I have a Walking Dead premier party to go to… now I know what I’m making!
eh, we can’t all be whole30 friendly every day (; this sauce sounds amazing, and i’d be tempted to ditch the salmon and just eat it over pasta!
This look delicious.
