Ingredients

For the Lobster Mushroom Quinoa

625 ml (2 ½ cups) of boiling water
1 20g bag of dehydrated lobster mushrooms from Racines Boréales
250 ml (1 cup) soy creamer (such as Belsoy)
10 ml (2 tsp) concentrated chicken broth (or powder)
10 ml (2 tsp) jarred minced garlic (or 2 cloves, finely chopped)
5 ml (1 tsp) oil (or butter)
2 French shallots, chopped
250 ml (1 cup) dry quinoa, rinsed and drained
60 ml (¼ cup) white wine
60 ml (¼ cup) grated parmesan
30 ml (2 tbsp) fresh tarragon, roughly chopped
Salt and pepper

For the Salmon

15 ml (1 tbsp) dehydrated juniper berries from Racines Boréales
2-3 sprigs of dehydrated young balsam fir shoots from Racines Boréales
A pinch of salt
5 ml (1 tsp) oil (or butter)
1 lemon
7.5 ml (½ tbsp) jarred minced garlic (or 1 clove, finely chopped)
600 g (4 fillets) skin-on salmon
7.5 ml (½ tbsp) honey

Note: If you like your salmon extra lemony, feel free to add more lemon juice during cooking.

Preparation

In a bowl, rehydrate the mushrooms in boiling water for about 10 minutes. Strain through a sieve into another bowl, keeping the soaking water. Drain and roughly chop the mushrooms. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the mushroom water and add the chicken broth, soy creamer, and garlic.
In a large pan, heat the oil and sauté the shallots for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and quinoa, cooking for 1 minute while stirring. Add the wine and reduce almost completely.
Over medium heat, add the prepared broth, one cup at a time, to the quinoa mixture. Stir frequently until the liquid is fully absorbed. Continue for 20-25 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked. Stir in the parmesan and tarragon to finish cooking. Reserve.
In a mortar, vigorously crush the juniper berries and balsam fir shoots with salt. Reserve.
In a pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the boreal spice mix, juice from half a lemon, and garlic. Cook the salmon, skin-side down, for 5-8 minutes. Add honey before flipping. Finish cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Adjust cooking time for your desired salmon doneness.
Serve the salmon on top of the creamy quinoa and garnish with the remaining lemon wedges and some fresh tarragon leaves.
