Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh salmon and heavy cream in the chiller section of major supermarkets like RB Patel or New World. Bottled sliced mushrooms are typically found in the canned vegetable aisle. If fresh cream is unavailable, a high-fat cooking cream is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Season the salmon fillets with the crushed garlic, salt, lemon juice, and black pepper.
- Allow the salmon to marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Heat a frying pan or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the salmon fillets for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the salmon is searing, prepare the sauce.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are lightly browned.
- Pour the heavy cream into the pan with the mushrooms.
- Simmer the sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken.
- Season the sauce with salt and white pepper to taste.
- Serve the pan-seared salmon fillets generously topped with the mushroom cream sauce.
