Answer 1

SEARED SALMON ON BABY SPINACH

2 7-ounce skinless salmon fillets
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
3 large shallots, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
8 ounces thinly sliced button or cremini mushrooms
6 ounces baby spinach leaves

1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup whipping cream

Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon; sauté until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in same skillet. Add half of shallots and saute 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and saute until tender. Add half of tarragon and increase heat to high; add half of spinach and toss 30 seconds. Add remaining spinach; toss until wilted. Divide between plates.

Melt remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining shallots and tarragon; sauté 30 seconds. Add wine and cream and boil until sauce is thick enough to coat spoon, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return salmon to skillet; simmer 1 minute. Arrange salmon with sauce atop spinach and mushrooms.

Serves 2; can be doubled.


This is the ultimate salmon recipe. I absolutely love this!! Its quick and easy and so delicious! I added the mushrooms per suggestions on Epicurious and doubled the amount of spinach. The original recipe can be found at the link below.

I usually serve this with oven roasted fingerling potatoes coated with olive oil, fresh oregano and minced garlic. Also great is a nice Beaujolais or Pinot Noir.

Try rice pilaf. Works great. And some nice steamed seasonal vegetable, like broccoli, zucchini, and carrots. Put just a tiny bit of lemon juice and a pinch of salt over the vegetables.
