Recipe: Seared Salmon & Mushroom Shallot Sauce
April 19, 2022Recipes
This recipe is a favorite for our Reset & Rebalance participants! Salmon is known to be one of the most heart-healthy protein sources, thanks to its richness of omega-3 fats. When cooking, these fats ensure the fish stays moist and allow for a tender end product that is oh-so-flaky and delicious. Topped with this wonderfully complementary mustard-thyme sauce, dare we say this dish could be served in a restaurant?
Luckily, it comes together in your home kitchen very quickly with just one skillet on the stove. Pair with your favorite starch and colorful vegetable for a plate method meal you will definitely be adding into regular rotation.
