For the salmon:

  • 1 lb salmon belly
  • 1 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Bouquet garni
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • a few grains of black pepper

For the salad:

  • 4 small beets, roasted in foil and peeled
  • potatoes, roasted
  • 1 cup onions, roasted
  • 1 frisee lettuce, cleaned and roughly chopped
  • 1 red leaf lettuce, cleaned and roughly chopped
  • 12 quail eggs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chervil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh tarragon, chopped
  • salt and cracked pepper

For the mustard vinaigrette:

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (you could use the oil you used for the salmon)
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Method/steps
  1. Combine the olive oil with the bouquet garni, garlic and black peppercorn in a small, shallow saucepan. Heat over very low heat until the oil reaches 150F (54 C)
  2. Add the salmon and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the salmon just begins to firm up. Carefully lift the salmon from the pan and place on paper towels to drain. You could use the oil in the mustard vinaigrette, you can also re-use the flavored oil to make more or in shrimp ceviche, etc…
