Salmon

For the fish lovers a tasty and easy recipe with salmon. If possible buy salmon filet (without bones) at your local fishmonger to ensure it's as fresh as possible, if you don't live in Scotland, Ireland or Norway where you can fish them yourself ;-).

Shopping list
Salmon filet (without bones)
Mixed fresh herbs like parsley, rosemary, chives, coriander
Fresh mint (not to put in with the salmon)
Aluminium foil
Olive oil

You have guessed it, we're going to make salmon packages and put them in the oven.

Pre-heat the oven for 15 minutes on 180 degrees.

Make a little bag of the foil and put the salmon in it
Sprinkle some olive oil over the salmon
Season it with salt and pepper from the mill
Cover the salmon with the mixed fresh herbs

And it's ready to go in the oven for +/- 20 minutes.

Serving with boiled potatoes, butter them and put some fresh mint on them (don't add the mint too early because it will turn into a dark green substance).
As vegetable I would go for broccoli or beans or a salad.

A white wine/beurre blanc sauce could be an option, but if the salmon is of good quality and you have cooked it not too long it should be moist enough.

White wine sauce
75 gr Unsalted butter
100 ml Fish or chicken stock, from cubes
3-4 Shallots finely chopped
Glas of dry white wine

Melt some of the butter in a saucepan and fry the shallots, but don't let the butter become brown
Add whine and the stock and bring it to boil
When it starts to bubble, lower the heat and whisk the rest of the butter slowly
Season it according to taste.
