Where to find ingredients

- Place the salmon in the fridge to marinate for approximately 30 minutes.
- Heat a frying pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the salmon fillets for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
- Prepare the sauce while the salmon is cooking.
- Melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are lightly browned.
- Pour the heavy cream into the pan with the mushrooms.
