I love developing recipes from ingredients I happen to have. This Salmon with Leeks and Mushrooms is what I came up with for dinner. It has a creamy lemon sauce which marries well with the leeks and mushrooms.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

3 leeks, sliced

1 pound portobello mushrooms, sliced

2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped

1 tablespoon butter

salt & pepper, to taste

¼ cup dry white wine

¾ cup half-and-half

2 lemons, zested and juiced

6 (6-ounce) salmon fillets

Directions

1Heat butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add washed and chopped leeks to the pan and cook for 10 minutes or until leeks have softened, stirring occasionally.

2Stir in fresh mushrooms, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until almost all of the liquid is gone, stirring occasionally.

3Reduce heat to low, stir in half-and-half and lemon zest, and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in ¼ cup lemon juice and remove from heat.
