As the days get colder, all I want is comfort food. Bring on the soups, sumptuous stews, or sauce-covered fish/pasta, you need craving comfort. Well, this salmon dish is a truly comforting meal.

The combination of mushrooms, onions, milk, flour, lemon juice, and vegetable broth create a velvety mushroom sauce without the use of any cream or butter.
