INGREDIENTS
 

  • 4 salmon steaks skin on one side (150 g each)
  • 600 g leeks
  • 3 small shallots or a white onion
  • 75 g butter
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • salt and pepper
  • nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon mustard optional

PREPARATION

  • Wash the leeks and slice them finely.
  • Sauté the chopped onion with butter in a frying pan over low heat, stirring occasionally. The onions should not brown but remain white.
  • Add the leeks and mix well. Cover and cook for about twenty minutes.
  • Add the cream just before serving. You can keep the cooked leeks aside until ready to serve, then add the cream.
  • Let it reduce for about ten minutes, depending on the desired consistency. The fondue will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • Meanwhile, when the leek fondue is almost ready, cook the salmon steaks.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan. When hot, place the salmon steaks skin-side up (the pink flesh side down) in the pan. Cook for 30 seconds on high heat, then carefully turn them over. The cooking is done without any added fat.
  • Let them cook skin-side down until the sides take on a uniform color.
  • At the end of cooking, carefully flip the salmon one last time and gently remove the skin.
  • Place a spoonful of creamed leeks on each plate and put the salmon steaks on top. Sprinkle with a few pink peppercorns, but this is optional.
  • Serve immediately !
