Effortlessly impress guests with stress-free poached salmon and bearnaise sauce at your next dinner party.
Ingredients:
  • 880g salmon
  • 375ml white wine
  • 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
  • 3 fresh or dried bay leaves
  • 120g butter
  • 20.00 ml white wine vinegar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh tarragon
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh chives
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh dill
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Steamed butter beans, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a deep frying pan, lay salmon fillets skin side down. Cover salmon with wine and cold water, ensuring they are just submerged. Add lemon slices and bay leaves to the pan. Bring the liquid to just below a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the fish soak in the liquid while making the sauce.
  • Melt butter until golden and pour it into a small heatproof jug. Combine vinegar and yolks until smooth. With the blender running, slowly pour in the hot butter to create a creamy emulsion. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and mix in tarragon, chives, and dill. Season to your liking.
  • Plate the fish and beans among four dishes, then generously drizzle with the flavorful sauce before serving promptly.
