Update 7/2015: This grilled salmon with thyme cream sauce recipe is the very first Girl Gone Gourmet post published in May of 2009. At the time I didn’t take any photos, so now – after 6 years! – I’ve finally got around to photographing the dish. I still love this recipe – it’s so easy to make, but tastes like something you might order in a restaurant. I hope you enjoy it, too! Only the photos have been updated – the text and recipe remain the same.
