Ingredients
- 4 salmon steaks
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1½ tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fennel feathers (or use extra parsley)
- 90 gms butter
- 1 cup white breadcrumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 12 medium sized mushrooms, thinly sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups cream
- Additional butter
Method
In a small pan, gently fry the onion for a few minutes, then add the parsley and fennel and cook until the onion is soft and lightly golden. In a bowl, pour the milk over the breadcrumbs, mix, then squeeze dry and discard the milk. Add the mushrooms, a pinch of salt and a grind or two of black pepper to the breadcrumbs in the bowl.
Use some of the additional butter to thoroughly grease a large, shallow oven-proof dish and lay two of the salmon steaks on the bottom. Spread the mushroom mixture quite thickly over these and top with the other two steaks. Warm the cream gently, then pour over all.
Dot with small pieces of butter and an extra grind of pepper and cook in a moderate oven for 25-35 minutes depending on the thickness of the steaks, using the liquid to baste occasionally.
Serve with a green vegetable such as broccoli or beans and small new potatoes. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley and fennel feathers.
