Yield: Makes 6 servings.

  • 3 pounds salmon, in 1-inch-thick steaks
  • For watercress-mustard sauce:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 1 cup minced watercress leaves and stems
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallots
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • additional watercress sprigs, for garnish

Preferably the day ahead, prepare the sauce by mixing together ingredients; refrigerate to let seasonings blend. Place broiler rack on lowest setting. Season salmon steaks with salt and pepper and dot with about half the sauce. Grill for 5 minutes, turn, dot with remaining sauce, and grill for 3 to 5 minutes longer, until just opaque. Transfer to plates and garnish with watercress sprigs.
