Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of wild and cultivated mushrooms. If you’re out of white wine, a splash of lemon juice can brighten the sauce. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch. Make sure to drain the salmon well to prevent excess moisture in the dish. This dish pairs beautifully with Crabby English Wedges for a delightful seafood experience.
