Main Ingredients

Truffle Oil

Bechamel Sauce

Garnish

Method

Preparation of Bechamel Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour until it forms a paste. Cook for about 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

  2. 2

    Add Milk

    Gradually add the milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and keep stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well and remove from heat. Set aside.

Cooking the Salmon and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Sauté Spinach

    In a large skillet, add a drizzle of truffle oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook Portobello Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add more truffle oil if needed. Slice the portobello mushrooms and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they're tender and slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 6

    Cook the Salmon

    Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a serving of sautéed spinach and top with portobello mushrooms. Place the salmon fillet on top and drizzle with bechamel sauce.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
