Ingredients

    • 4 Salmon Skin off Fillets
    • 1 1/2 cups (375ml) white wine
    • 1 lemon
    • sliced into rounds
    • 3 fresh or dried bay leaves
    • 120g butter
    • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
    • 2 egg yolks
    • 1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
    • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
    • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill

Steps

  1. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, in a deep frying pan. Add wine and enough cold water to just cover salmon. Add lemon and bay leaves to the pan. Bring liquid to just below simmering point and cook at this temperature for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave fish submerged in liquid while preparing the sauce.
  2. Melt butter and transfer it to a small heatproof jug. Blend vinegar and yolks together until well combined. With the motor running, add hot butter in a slow, steady stream. The mixture should emulsify. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and stir through tarragon, chives, and dill. Season to taste.
  3. Divide fish and beans between four serving plates and drizzle with sauce. Serve immediately.
