Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the fingerling potatoes in salted water for about 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Whiskey Glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine whiskey, honey, soy sauce, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Sear the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Brush the whiskey glaze over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Mushrooms and Peas

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Add garden peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mustard Cream

    In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a portion of the fingerling potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and peas. Top with the whiskey-glazed salmon and drizzle with mustard cream before serving.
