Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel plus additional to taste
4 (6-oz) pieces center-cut salmon fillet (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup créme fraîche
2 tablespoons hot water
2 tablespoons avruga caviar (from a 120-g jar)
2 teaspoons olive oil
5 oz baby arugula (7 cups loosely packed)
5 oz mesclun (mixed baby salad greens; 7 cups loosely packed)
4 small lime wedges
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Spread butter over bottom of a 13- by 9-inch baking dish and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel. Put salmon, skin sides down, in dish and bake, uncovered, until just cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • About 10 minutes before salmon is done, put créme fraîche in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until just melted. Transfer to a blender along with water and caviar and purée into a very smooth emulsion. Return to saucepan and keep warm, uncovered, over very low heat, stirring occasionally. Thin sauce slightly with a little additional hot water if too thick.
  • Just before salmon is done baking, heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add greens in 3 batches, stirring and turning with tongs until greens are slightly wilted before adding each new batch, and continue to cook, stirring, until completely wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Push greens to one side of skillet and pour off liquid (discarding it). Divide greens among 4 plates. Top greens with salmon and season lightly with fleur de sel, then squeeze some of lime juice from wedges over salmon. Stir 1/2 teaspoon lime juice into sauce and spoon onto plates.

This recipe is terrible. The salmon was dry and the caviar sauce was watery.

This recipe is not for beginners. It's very easy to overcook the salmon and the caviar sauce is very difficult to make. I would not recommend this recipe unless you have some experience cooking fish.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The salmon was dry and overcooked, and the caviar sauce was runny and bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I ended up with a lot of dishes to clean up. The salmon was good, but not worth the effort.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the caviar sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this recipe again, but I would cook the salmon for a shorter amount of time.
