Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh salmon fillets at reputable butchers or supermarket fish counters in Kampala. Look for button mushrooms in the vegetable section of major retailers like Capital Shoppers or Carrefour. Heavy cream is available in the dairy aisle; if unavailable, a thick chilled cooking cream is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Season the salmon fillets with the minced garlic, salt, lemon juice, and black pepper.
- Place the salmon in the refrigerator to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Heat a frying pan or a heavy-based grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the salmon fillets for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the salmon is searing, begin preparing the sauce.
- In a separate saucepan, 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 seared salmon fillets drizzled generously with the mushroom sauce.
