Pan-Seared Salmon with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

• 9g Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning
• 4 salmon fillets (about 150g each), skin-on, cleaned and patted dry
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 200g mushrooms, sliced
• 1/4 cup white wine (optional, substitute with chicken broth if needed)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, for garnish
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red chili peppers, for garnish (optional)
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, for garnish

• Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped parsley, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
• Rub the olive oil all over the salmon fillets, then rub the herb mixture onto the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season the fillets generously with salt, black pepper, and 5g of the Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning. Let the salmon rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned salmon fillets, skin-side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).
• Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

• In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté over medium heat until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
• Add the white wine (or chicken broth) to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

• Transfer the seared salmon fillets to a serving plate. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the salmon fillets. Garnish with chopped fresh basil, thinly sliced red chili peppers (if using), and thinly sliced green onions.
• Serve immediately, enjoying the tender, flavorful salmon with the rich, aromatic mushroom sauce.
