Salmon Sticks with Herb Mushroom Cream

I can provide you with a recipe to prepare some delicious salmon sticks with herb mushroom cream. This dish combines the delicate flavor of salmon with the rich creaminess of mushrooms and the fresh aroma of herbs.

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 150 g each)
• 300 g of mushrooms (porcini or champignon)
• 1 shallot
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 200 ml of cooking cream
• A mix of fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, chives)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Butter
• A glass of dry white wine

Preparation

1. Start by cleaning the mushrooms and slicing them thinly. Finely chop the shallot and garlic.
2. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and a knob of butter. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté until they become translucent.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until golden, then deglaze with the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
4. Lower the heat, add the cooking cream and chopped herbs, season with salt and pepper and let the cream reduce and thicken slightly.
5. While the cream is thickening, prepare the salmon. Cut the fillets into long, thin sticks, season with a little salt, and pepper.
6. In a non-stick pan, heat a drizzle of oil and a little butter. When it is hot, add the salmon sticks and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy on the outside but still tender inside.
7. Plate by laying down the mushroom cream as a base and placing the salmon sticks on top.
8. Garnish with some fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.

Curiosity

Salmon is a very versatile fish in the kitchen and pairs well with intense flavors such as those of mushrooms. The use of fresh herbs in the cream not only adds fragrance and taste to the dish but also brings a fresh color note to the final plate. Remember that each herb has its distinctive character, so feel free to experiment with different combinations to find the one you prefer.
