Sauteed Salmon With Pacific Rim Morels And Peas Recipe



Ingredients:

1/2 pound Pacific Rim morel mushrooms
1 pound shelling peas
salt to taste
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1 fresh thyme sprig
freshly-ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Sherry
1 dash soy sauce
1/2 cup whipping cream
4 salmon filets - diagonally sliced
1 tablespoon mild olive or peanut oil


Directions:

Slice the morels in half lengthwise and brush or shake off any debris; wash them only if absolutely necessary, and drain thoroughly.

Remove the peas from the pods. Blanch the peas in lightly salted water until they're crisp-tender and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking.

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the morel mushrooms. Cook the morels for about 3 to 4 minutes, then add the green onion, thyme sprig and a dash of salt and pepper.

When the mushrooms begin to release their liquid, add the wine and soy sauce and cook until nearly dry, 1 minute. Add the cream and peas, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Meanwhile, season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper and heat the oil in another skillet (preferably nonstick). Cook the salmon over high heat until nicely browned and a skewer slides in easily, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Transfer the salmon to a serving dish or individual plates. Correct the seasoning of the morel mushroom-pea mixture and spoon it around the salmon. Garnish with more fresh thyme if desired.
