Salmon with sorrel

Serves 4-6.

Ingredients:
  • 900g fresh salmon, cut into fillets roughly 150g each
  • 80g sorrel
  • 40g butter, cubed
  • 40cl crème fraiche
  • 10cl fish stock
  • 8cl white wine
  • 4cl vermouth
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 1/2 lemon

Method:

Place the salmon fillets between 2 sheets of oiled parchment paper and flatten to produce escalopes of equal thickness.
Cut the stalks off the sorrel, wash and cut into 2 or 3 pieces. Leave to dry.
In a medium sized pot, add the fish stock, wine, vermouth and shallots, and allow to reduce on medium heat until syrupy.
Add the cream and boil for a minute.
Add the sorrel and boil 30 seconds.
Take off the heat, add the butter, salt and pepper.
Salt and pepper the escalopes. Heat up a nonstick pan, and fry them 30 seconds on each side.
Serve immediately on a bed of sorrel sauce, topped with a few drops of lemon juice.
