Baked Salmon With Mushroom Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Duxelles: Rinse and thoroughly pat dry cremini mushrooms before using a food processor or sharp knife to finely mince. Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft. Stir in cremini mushrooms and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the mushrooms to cook down while their moisture evaporates. Add white wine, thyme and salt. Simmer for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in whipping cream. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate. Makes 1 cup. Note: I froze the remaining Duxelles, for a month. It thawed perfectly, and was delicious spread over puff pastry and rolled, sliced into pinwheels. Bake at 400°F for about 10 to 12 minutes. Elegant yet easy to prepare, salmon wellington makes a lovely entrée for a dinner party or evening in as the puff pastry parcels can be prepared and refrigerated for up to two hours before being baked. Wellington: Cut puff pastry into four equal 5-inch x 8-inch (13-centimeters x 20-centimeters) sheets. Approximate measurements are suitable. Spread 1/4 cup mushroom duxelle evenly onto each sheet of puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch (1 centimeter) margin at the edges. Place a salmon fillet in the center of each prepared pastry, seasoning each with a sprinkle of salt. Fold up edges in a lengthwise and press puff pastry together to seal a seam across the center of the salmon fillet. Flip pastry over so that seam is hidden and gently press the sides together to close. Note: I brushed an egg wash over each wellington, to give a lovely golden color to the pastry. Bake salmon wellington at 400°F (205°C) for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 325°F (165°C) and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until puff-pastry is flaky and golden brown. If using previously frozen salmon, allow fillets to completely thaw before assembling the salmon puff-pastry. Note: These can also be frozen, and then baked for a little extra time. I also tested reheating one of these, after they were baked, in a conventional oven (do not microwave), and they turned out just fine!

Steps:

• Salmon Patties:
• Saute green onions and celery in 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Set aside.
• Remove and discard skin and bones from salmon, if desired. (I usually remove the skin, but crush up the bones to retain the calcium). Combine salmon, reserved green onion mixture, egg, and next 5 ingredients. Shape mixture into 4 patties. (Mixture will be very sticky). Dredge in flour. Cook in 1/4 cup melted butter in a skillet over medium heat 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Serve patties with the warm mushroom sauce.
• Mushroom Sauce:
• Saute mushrooms in butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until almost tender. Add the minced garlic, and cook 1 minute longer. Remove mushrooms and garlic from the saucepan, reserving drippings in the pan. Reduce the heat to low.
• Add 1 tbsp flour to the drippings, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add half-and-half, wine, soy sauce, and lemon-pepper seasoning; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Return mushrooms to pany; cook until heated.
