Salmon with Oyster Mushrooms over Creamy Butternut Squash Purée
This is the perfect fall fish dish. The creamy butternut squash puree made with coconut cream pairs deliciously with the salmon. The oyster mushrooms add a nice veggie addition and soak up the puree.
I love baking fish because you can broil the top to have it nice and creamy while having a buttery inside.
