Saffron sauce with créme fraîche
If the charcoal in your Big Green Egg is lit anyway and you’re making a sauce that requires heat, you might as well make it on the Big Green Egg. This allows you to add that delicious, subtle flavour accent to your sauce as well. This saffron sauce, for example, tastes sublime with salmon. With the addition of crème fraîche, it is more refreshing than the standard saffron mayonnaise. You could also serve the sauce with a lobster salad or with artichokes.
