Poached salmon served on a Champagne sauce

A good meal for entertaining and quite quick to prepare. If you don't have any ready-made pancakes, buy them fresh from the supermarket.

What you need

700 g salmon fillets
8 pancakes
seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 leek, julienne (fine strips)
1 carrot julienne
For the sauce
75 g shallots, peeled and diced
45 ml lemon juice
100 ml champagne
6 tsp cider vinegar
100 ml double cream
1 butter

Method

  1. Cut salmon into rounds (allow 2 rounds per person). Gently poach salmon portions in simmering water, seasoning and bay leaf for 4-6 min.

  2. To make sauce: Melt butter and fry shallots without colouring. Add lemon juice, Champagne and cider vinegar. Bring to boil and simmer until reduced by two thirds.

  3. Add cream and simmer gently for 10-15 min. Adjust seasoning.

  4. Arrange alternate layers of pancakes and salmon on hot serving plates. Top with cooked buttered ribbons of leek and carrot. Serve with Champagne sauce.

Cook's tip

You could use trout or hake instead. Use dry white wine if you don't have any left-over Champagne.
