Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 2 tablespoons garlic-pepper seasoning (such as McCormick®)
• 3 pounds Alaskan king salmon
• 5 large mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 3

Combine olive oil, garlic seasoning, chives, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well blended.

Step 4

Place salmon on a baking sheet and coat with the garlic mixture; reserve any remaining mixture.

Step 5

While salmon bakes, heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and the rest of the garlic mixture. Cook and stir until mushrooms shrink slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add butter; cook and stir until mushrooms are mostly tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Step 6

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn the oven to broil. Add mushrooms to the baking sheet with the cooked salmon and broil until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
