Double Cutlet of Salmon with
Anchovy Sauce
Ingredients:
8 Cutlets of
salmon (3 oz. each) 2 Oz. butter 1/2 Cup of dry white wine
2 Cups heavy cream 1/4 Clove of garlic 2 Peeled and seeded
tomatoes 2 Fillets of anchovy
1/3 Oz. butter to warm the tomatoes 16 Leaves of fresh
tarragon (or finely chopped chives) Salt and finely ground
white pepper
To Serve 6:
Fillet the middle portion
of a medium-sized salmon, removing the skin and the bones.
Each fillet is cut into equal
cutlets of about 3 ounces each, 1
to 1 1/2 inches thick. Rub the salmon with salt and
pepper. On a plate, place
2 pieces with the insides facing
each other, so the thick part faces the thin part of the other
piece. Bind the parts
together with a piece of string around the
edges.
Warm the butter in a frying pan or a sautoire.
Brown the cutlets carefully on both sides and place them in a
preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes. Baste the
fish 3 to 4 times with the butter while it is
being fried.
Place the fish on a serving dish and keep warm. Drain the
fat. Add the white wine and the heavy cream and
reduce
together with the garlic to half the volume.
Coarsely
chop the tomatoes and the anchovy fillets, separately.
Warm the tomatoes in the butter in a new
sautoire or a small
saucepan. Add some salt, pepper and anchovy. Strain
the sauce and pour it over the
tomatoes. Remove the string from
the fish, serve with the sauce around the cutlets and decorate
the sauce
with the tarragon leaves.
