Grilled Salmon Steak With Mushrooms

A friend of mine asked for a recipe to do with Salmon, so here's my favourite easy salmon recipe:

Grilled Salmon Steak with Mushrooms

Ingredients:

Salmon Steak: 1 or 2
Olive Oil: 3tbsp
Onion : 1 medium sized one
Garlic: 2 cloves
Stock (any): 1 cup
Mushrooms : 1 cup
Lemon/Lime : 1 large
Milk: 1/2 cup
Flour: 2 tbsp
Oil: 2tbsp

Method:
Defrost the salmon steak, wash it, and marinate with some of the lemon/lime juice, olive oil and salt. For the sauce, slice the onions, garlic and mushrooms. Fry the onions till translucent, then add the garlic, and then after half a minute the mushrooms. Add the flour to this and then add the stock, a good squeeze of lime/lemon and after the sauce starts thickening, you can add the milk.

Arrange the salmon steaks on a tray in the oven on some foil and bake for about 9 min on each side at about 220. Salmon should turn a lovely shade of coral pink and be tender when done. Serve the salmon steaks with the mushroom sauce spooned on on the top. Other grilled vegetables are a nice accompaniment along with rice.

An alternative to actually making the salmon in the oven, is to put the salmon into the sauce after the adding the milk, and just cooking the salmon on the stove with the sauce. If you do more than one salmon steak make sure you have a large pan, or do one steak at a time.

Bon Appetit!
