Salmon in egg sauce

Light and rich at the same time, this recipe is perfect for Good Friday. Serve it with steamed asparagus and my Potato Salad (see recipe) and you’ll have a wholesome dinner.


Ingredients:

(serves 4)  A Gf

  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 to 8 oz. each
  • 6 Tbsp. organic butter
  • 2 organic egg yolks
  • 2 Tbsp. parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 organic lemons
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Wash the lemons, grate their rind, squeeze them and put the juice and the rind in a heatproof bowl.
Add the egg yolks, salt and pepper.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and cook over low heat (see picture) until the mixture starts to rise. Stir constantly with a hand whisk to incorporate air, with a delicate up-and down movement.


Melt the butter, add it to the egg mixture, stir well and remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, steam the salmon fillets or cook them in a non-stick pan for 15 minutes, with very little oil.
Pour the egg sauce on a serving dish, arrange the salmon fillets on top of it, sprinkle with the chopped parsely and serve warm.
