Category: Main Course
Serves: 4


Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Salmon fillet 800g
Sesame seeds 50g
Extra virgin olive oil 30g
Shallot 60g
Salt to taste
Black pepper a pinch
Champignon mushrooms 280g
Chardonnay wine 100g
Whole milk 50g
Extra virgin olive oil 20g
Salt a pinch
Black pepper a pinch
Fresh parsley 3g

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chardonnay Mushroom Sauce

  1. Begin by preparing the Chardonnay mushroom sauce. Finely chop the shallot, then slice the champignon mushrooms into thin pieces.
  2. Heat a large pan and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Sauté the shallot for about 4-5 minutes, until it softens and becomes aromatic.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for a few minutes until they soften and release their moisture.
  4. Pour in the Chardonnay wine to deglaze the pan, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to concentrate.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then add the whole milk, stirring to create a creamy consistency. Let it simmer gently while you prepare the salmon.

Step 2: Prepare the Crispy Salmon Fillets

  1. Carefully remove any bones from the salmon fillets using a pair of kitchen tweezers.
  2. On a plate, combine the sesame seeds and a pinch of salt. Coat each fillet with the sesame mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy on the outside while keeping the fish tender and moist on the inside.
  4. Be sure to turn the fillets gently, allowing them to crisp evenly without breaking apart.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

  1. Arrange the cooked salmon fillets on a serving platter. Set aside a few whole mushrooms from the sauce to garnish the plate.
  2. Spoon the creamy Chardonnay mushroom sauce over the salmon fillets and mushrooms.
  3. Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil over the dish and season with a pinch of black pepper.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
  5. Serve the crispy salmon fillets with the rich Chardonnay sauce, and enjoy this elegant yet simple dish!

Serving Tips:

  • Serve alongside steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a well-rounded meal.
  • The Chardonnay sauce pairs wonderfully with other fish dishes or can be used as a decadent topping for grilled chicken.

With crispy salmon fillets and a creamy, wine-infused mushroom sauce, this dish will be a hit at your next dinner party or family meal. Enjoy the balance of textures and flavors with each bite!
