ES - I made this tonight in my Thermo Chef. I cooked a cup of rice at the same time in the basket, so I increased the water to approx 900ml. I wrapped the fish in separate parcels and cooked them for the first 15 min at speed 2, turned them over and cooked for only another 5 min as I like my salmon still pink in the middle. It was overlooked for my liking, so next time I would stop after the first 15 min.
I had trouble sautéing the shallot as the quantity is too small for the blades to mix around. Next time I would add all the mushrooms with the butter, the shallots and the white wine. I also dropped the temp to 70C and cooked at speed 2 for 1 minute. Then added the cream and cream cheese and cooked for a further 3 minutes at 90C.
Next time I would also steam some other vegetables with the mushrooms.
Everyone enjoyed this meal, and I will make it again.
