Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 6 slices bacon
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, chop it into small pieces. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the olive oil to the skillet with the bacon grease and heat over medium-high. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets gently and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until golden and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Add the lemon juice, half of the chopped parsley, and the crumbled bacon to the sauce. Stir to combine.
Place the salmon fillets back into the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the sauce over the fillets. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the dish and serve hot with your choice of side, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
