Ingredients

1/3 cup chopped fresh herb like chervil, parsley or coriander
1/3 cup coarsely chopped scallions including green part
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon minced garlic
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 hard-boiled egg, in quarters
4 boneless skinless salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
16 large basil leaves, plus leaves for garnish

Steps:

Combine the chopped herb with the scallions, chives, tarragon, garlic, oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture is chopped fine. But overblending will harm texture.
Add the egg and blend briefly until the egg is coarsely blended.
Pour water into the bottom of a steamer. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and place them on a steamer rack. Lay 4 basil leaves over each fillet and cover. Bring the water to a boil and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook. The fish can be served hot or cold.
Transfer the fish to a serving plate. Spoon the vinaigrette over the fillets and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Not a fan of the vinaigrette. It was too oily for my taste. I'll try a different recipe next time.

The salmon was a bit dry, but the vinaigrette was delicious. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

Easy and delicious! I used a pre-made vinaigrette dressing to save time and it turned out great. The salmon was moist and flavorful. Will definitely make this again!

This recipe is a keeper! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the herb vinaigrette was a delightful complement. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family. Will definitely be making this again.
