Ingredients for marinade:
- 4 salmon fillets (approximately 150-200g each)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon fish seasoning (or herbs de Provence, if preferred)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- A handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt to taste

Ingredients for sour cream sauce:
- 200g cooking cream
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a few fresh dill leaves for added flavor

Preparing the marinade:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the mustard, olive oil, white pepper, fish seasoning, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well until you get a homogeneous marinade.
2. Add the salmon fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are completely covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, it's ideal to marinate them for 1 to 2 hours to intensify the flavors.

Preparing the sour cream sauce:
1. In a small bowl, mix the cooking cream, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. If desired, add freshly chopped dill for an even fresher taste to the sauce. This sauce will perfectly complement the salmon and add a gourmet touch to the dish.

Cooking the salmon:
1. Preheat the grill to a medium-high temperature. Make sure the grill is well oiled to prevent the fish from sticking.
2. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets skin-side up on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is well done and has a nice crust. Avoid flipping the salmon too early to prevent it from breaking.
3. When the salmon is ready, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to stabilize the juices.

Serving:
Serve the salmon fillets on an elegant platter, drizzled with the sour cream sauce and garnished with a few fresh parsley leaves. This dish can be accompanied by a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables, offering a complete and healthy meal.

Possible variations:
You can experiment with different spices, such as smoked paprika or cumin, to give the salmon a distinct flavor. Additionally, the sour cream sauce can be customized with the addition of green onions or capers for a more intense taste.
