Provided by Hans Rueffert

Time 21m

Yield 1 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8-ounce salmon fillet, pin bones removed
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
1/4 cup sliced leeks, white portion only

Steps:

  • Salmon is a really unique fish that we often take for granted. Everyone smothers it with heavy sauces or encrusts it with this and that...which is fine. But why not enjoy the fish for what it is from time to time? So, simply season the salmon fillet with a nice sprinkle of salt and coarse ground pepper, both sides. Rub the fillet with a small amount of olive oil. Grill or pan sear the salmon until just medium rare or medium, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. (The saying is, you don't cook salmon, you should merely threaten it!)
  • In a skillet over high heat, heat the butter until nearly smoking. Add the shiitakes and leeks and cook on high heat until the edges just begin to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, simply spoon the mushroom/leek mixture onto salmon. Serve with a side of spinach spaetzle and a simple red pepper compound butter.

I'm allergic to pepper, so I used garlic powder instead. The dish was still very flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I had some cooked salmon in the fridge, and this dish was a quick and easy way to turn it into a delicious meal.

I'm not a big fan of shiitakes, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still very good.

I substituted asparagus for the leeks and it was still delicious! This recipe is very versatile.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salmon came out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not usually a fan of salmon, but this recipe changed my mind. The salt and pepper crust was crispy and flavorful, and the shiitakes and leeks added a nice depth of flavor. The salmon was also cooked perfectly, so it was moist and flaky.

This salmon dish was an absolute delight! The combination of salt and pepper with the shiitakes and leeks created a flavor profile that was both savory and sophisticated. The salmon was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist, while the vegetables reta
