Ingredients
Salmon and broccoli
- 650 g salmon, boneless fillets, cut into portion pieces
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 450 g (1.2 liters) broccoli
Cowboy sauce
- 200 g butter
- 1 (15 g) scallion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh horseradish, grated
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Season the fish with salt and pepper. Fry in butter for a couple of minutes on both sides, until the fish reaches your desired temperature.
- Divide the broccoli into florets. Boil the broccoli in a pot with lightly-salted water until fork-tender. Drain and keep warm.
- Melt the butter for the sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the cream, and whisk together.
- Before serving, whisk in the cream until the sauce thickens. You can also use an immersion blender at this stage.
Tip
If the sauce doesn’t thicken you can use the same technique as when you make your own mayonnaise or our quick and easy hollandaise sauce.
1. Crack one egg into a high and narrow mixing bowl or large glass measuring cup or beaker.
2. While using an immersion blender in one hand, use the other hand to slowly pour the butter sauce into the bowl containing the egg (pour the butter in a thin steady stream while you keep blending).
Note that the lowest layer is supposed to get creamy before you bring up the blender to the next layer. The sauce is ready when it’s thick and fluffy.
