Seared Salmon with Indian-Inspired Cream Sauce

Salmon fillets smothered in a rich mushroom cream sauce and garnished with parsley, green onions slices, and lemon slices. The sauce has fennel, garlic, mushrooms, saffron and curry.

How to Make It

  1. Season each fillet with salt and pepper; set aside.

  2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook until they soften and turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Combine mushrooms, fennel, and celery with onions and cook until vegetables have softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with curry powder, saffron, salt and pepper to taste; cook 2 more minutes. Pour in chicken broth and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Stir in heavy cream and simmer 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat and place salmon fillets in pan, skin side down. Turn up heat to high to sear fillets; cooking two minutes on each side.

  4. Prepare serving platter by spooning mushroom sauce over the bottom. Place salmon fillets on top, drizzling additional sauce over fish. Garnish with parsley, lemon slices, and green onions.
