Salmon with Basil Sauce
Report
This salmon dinner dish is my go-to anytime I have a last-minute change of plans and have friends over. Or simply because we do want salmon.

Ingredients
- 6 ounces salmon fillets skinless
- ¼ pound mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- ⅓ cup fish stock
- 3 tablespoons dry white wine
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup basil loosely packed, finely shredded basil
- 4 basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the mushroom stalks even with the caps and slice 1/8-inch thick
- Heat the butter in a 12-inch stainless steel sauté pan; add the mushrooms, and sauté on high heat, tossing all the time, until light golden brown.
- Add the fish stock, wine, and salmon. Cover and gently simmer for 7 to 10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. To check if it is ready, insert a small sharp knife into the thickest part of each fillet to check if it is cooked through. Be careful not to over-cook or the salmon will be dry.
- Remove the salmon from the pan with a slotted spatula. Keep the fillets warm
- On a high heat, reduce the pan juices to a light syrupy consistency. Add the cream and shredded basil and continue to reduce until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon. Add any juices that have accumulated from the salmon and continue to reduce for a minute more. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Arrange the salmon on four dinner plates and spoon the sauce on top. Garnish each fillet with a basil leaf.
Notes
- Mushrooms should be small and all of the same size will cook faster and easier
- If adding skin-on salmon, ensure the skin is side up facing you.
