Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 35 ml
  • 4 salmon fillets 6 oz / 170 grams each
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 8 oz white mushrooms (thinly sliced) 225 grams
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour 9 grams
  • 1/2 cup low fat milk 120 ml
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth 120 ml
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley 5 grams
  • 2 tsp lemon juice 10 ml
  • sea salt & black pepper
  • chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

  2. In the meantime, add the salmon fillets over some paper towels and pat dry, then season with salt & pepper on both sides

  3. Add the salmon fillets into the hot fry pan, in a single layer and skin side down, fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until the salmon is just cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside

  4. Using the same pan with the same heat, add in the chopped onion and garlic, mix continuously, after 3 minutes and the onions are slightly translucent, add in the sliced mushrooms and a dash of salt, continue to mix together for a few minutes

  5. After 6 to 8 minutes and the mushrooms are lightly sauteed, add in the flour, mix continuously for 2 minutes, then add in the milk and vegetable broth, and gently mix together for a few minutes

  6. After about 4 minutes and you've ended up with a slightly creamy sauce, add in the chopped parsley and season with salt & pepper, mix together, then add the salmon fillets back into the pan, all in a single layer, spoon some of the sauce over the fillets, and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes

  7. Serve directly out of the pan, topped off with a kiss of fresh lemon juice, some cracked black pepper, and chopped chives, enjoy!
