Steps:
- Choose the thickest center section of the fish. Using a flexible boning knife, cut apart the two fillets, and carefully remove skin.
- With pliers, pull out the tiny bones hiding in the center of the flesh. They can be found by running fingers against the grain of the fish. Divide the fillets in half horizontally to make four pieces weighing about 6 ounces each.
- Lightly oil two pieces of parchment paper with peanut oil. Lay one piece of parchment on a flat surface. Place fish on parchment. Top with second piece of parchment. With a wooden mallet or the side of a cleaver, gently flatten so each fillet is of equal thickness.
- In a medium saucepan, combine fish stock and shallots. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to a glaze, 10 to 15 minutes. Add wine and vermouth, and continue to cook until bright and syrupy, about 3 minutes. Add creme fraiche, and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Pass through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pan.
- Add sorrel, and cook for 25 seconds. Remove from heat. Add butter a little at a time, swirling or stirring with a wooden spoon until completely incorporated (be sure not to break up sorrel leaves). Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon on one side (the less presentable side) with salt and pepper. Place in pan, seasoned side up. Cook 25 seconds, turn, and cook 15 seconds more. The salmon must be undercooked to preserve its tenderness (it will continue to cook in the finished sauce).
- Distribute sauce among four large plates. Place salmon, seasoned side down, on plates. Season with salt. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Pick over the sorrel. Discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse the leaves and pat them dry. Pack the leaves closely and cut them crosswise into very thin strips. This is called a chiffonadeThere should be about two cups or slightly more when loosely packed.
- If there are any bones in the fillets, carefully remove them with pliers. Cut the fillets on the bias into about 14 thin slices.
- Put the reserved fish skin and bones in a small saucepan. Add one tablespoon of the shallots, the wine and chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil and let simmer five minutes. Add the cream and cook about five minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, pushing the solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. There should be about one and one-quarter cups.
- Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the remaining one tablespoon of shallots. Cook briefly and add the sorrel. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
- Add the cream mixture, the cubed tomato flesh, salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a stick-proof skillet. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper and place, a few pieces at a time, in one layer in the skillet. Cook one and one-half to two minutes, depending on the thickness of the slices, turning once.
- Pour the sorrel sauce into the center of a warm platter and smooth it over. As the salmon pieces are cooked, arrange them neatly, slightly overlapping, on the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Fish -- A easy way to steam salmon is to individually wrap the fillets in saran wrap and steam right in a colander over a pan of water. No clean up and easy. So, my trick is to set a 10x10 piece of plastic wrap in a small cereal bowl or something similar. Then, set the salmon skin side down on the plastic wrap and top with butter, salt and pepper, 2 orange slices and then 1/4 cup wine. Wrap up the salmon like a little package and you are ready to cook it. Bring a medium pan or pot of water to a boil and set a colander or strainer over the top. This way you will be steaming your fish. As the water comes to a boil, start your sauce.
- Sauce -- In a small pot add the butter and melt on medium heat, add the flour and mix to make a roux. Cook another minute until well combined. Add in 3/4 cup of the vegetable broth, garlic and cream and cook on medium (not boiling) until thickened. It will take about 7-10 minutes. Once thickened, add the lemon and orange juice, parsley and check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Set on low while you finish the fish and spinach. Before I serve the sauce I add the remaining 1/4 cup broth to thin it out just a bit.
- Fish Steaming -- Your water is boiling and the salmon is wrapped. As you were making the sauce. Just set your 4 packets on the colander or steamer and cover. You just want the water level so it doesn't come up through the colander or steamer. Cover -- I use an over sized lid or even just a piece of foil. Don't worry if it doesn't fit, it is just meant to keep some of the steam inches The fish will take around 15 minutes.
- Spinach -- Sauce is done, fish is cooking. Time to saute your spinach. In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and pancetta and cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Add in the onion and cook another couple of minutes. Then add in the spinach and a couple of tablespoons of broth and cook just a few minutes until wilted. I don't like to over cook the spinach.
- Plate -- Place a bed of spinach on each plate. Unwrap the steamed / poached salmon and place each piece on the bed of spinach. Don't worry about the wine in the bottom of the packets, that was just to keep the fish moist as it cooked, but it certainly couldn't hurt to add it right over the spinach.
- Note: The skin should come right off when you remove from the packets.
- Top the salmon with the citrus sauce and enjoy. Serve with some buttered new potatoes.
- Plate the spinach, nicely wilted but still not too overdone, top with the salmon, orange slices and some of the wine and butter and then top with the citrus sauce.
- Add some new potatoes on the side or rice pilaf makes for a very nice dinner.

SALMON, STEAMED SPINACH, AND A LEMON SALAD
Steps:
- Brush the salmon on both sides with olive oil, then season with salt. Get a nonstick frying pan hot. Place the fish, skin side down, in the pan and cook over medium heat for four or five minutes, until the skin has crisped. Turn, cover with a lid, and cook for a further five minutes or so, until the fish is lightly cooked through to the center.
- Meanwhile, make the salad by cutting away the skin and white pith from the lemons with a sharp knife and slicing the lemons thinly. Put them into a bowl with the sugar, olive oil, and a good handful of parsley leaves, left whole. Add the capers and toss the salad gently. Let sit for a few minutes, during which time the sharpness of the lemon will mellow a little.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly, then steam in a lidded pan for a minute or two, until tender. Drain.
- Put the lemon salad and the spinach on warm plates and slide on the salmon.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the salmon gently: Steaming is a great way to cook salmon as it prevents the fish from drying out.
- Make sure the salmon is cooked through: The salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Make the sorrel and spinach sauce while the salmon is cooking: This will save you time and ensure that the sauce is hot and flavorful when you serve the salmon.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served hot, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
Steamed salmon with a sauce of sorrel and spinach is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked gently to perfection, and the sorrel and spinach sauce is light and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
