Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.
