1

Season your salmon filets with salt and pepper. (Make sure the skin is removed). Then add a tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Once your pan is hot, lay in your salmon filets.

2

Cook your salmon filets how you prefer. I like mine medium well, so I sear on each side for 5 minutes. Once your filets are done, remove them from the pan and set aside to add back once you've made your sauce.

3

Keeping the same skillet over medium heat, add in your minced onion and roasted garlic to the man. Add in another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Allow all of this to get fragrant, the onions to soften and get clear. Should take about 5 minutes.

4

Now you will add in the mushrooms and spinach to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze the half lemon. Sautee until the mushrooms and spinach are soft and wilted. About 10 minutes.

5

Once all your veggies have been cooked down, you will add in the white wine, water and butter. Stir until the butter is melted. Then allow to simmer and reduce for 15 minutes. (Everything is still over medium heat)

6

Once your sauce is reduced down, remove it from the heat and add in the cashewgurt. (NOTE: I use the Forager Cashewgurt because it is dairy free and doesn't curdle as easily as greek yogurt. If you use greek yogurt in this recipe, let the sauce cool for about 5 minutes before stirring it into the sauce to prevent it from curdling.)

Also, it's your call if you would like to thicken the sauce or enjoy it as a thinner sauce. If you're enjoying this dish on a bed of rice, the thinner sauce will soak into the rice better and be super delicious. *If you want to thicken the sauce use 1 Tbls. corn starch mixed with 1 Tbls. of water.

7

When you're finished stirring in the cashewgurt (or greek yogurt), add the salmon back into the pan and give it a little bath.

Make your lemon, sun dried tomato, parsley relish now. Add in a Tbls. of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, pinch of salt, sun dried tomatoes and parsley. Pulse together until it looks like a relish.
