This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or just to elevate a regular dinner. With the addition of fresh herbs and a tangy hint from the lemon and vinegar, this dish is sure to impress.

Ingredients:

1.50 lb salmon
680g
1 cup white wine
230g
1 lemon
110g
3 bay leafs
1.80g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
2 yolks
33g
1 tbsp tarragon (estragon)
16g
1 tbsp chives
16g
1 tbsp dill
16g

Instructions:

2. Poach the salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in the poaching liquid, making sure the liquid almost covers the fillets. If necessary, add a bit of water to ensure the salmon is well-submerged.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat. Do not let it boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the salmon poach gently for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is just opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Begin the Béarnaise:
- In a small saucepan, combine the 1 tbsp vinegar and half of the chopped tarragon over medium heat. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly, then let it cool for a minute.
5. Blend the yolks:
- In a blender, combine the 2 egg yolks and the reduced vinegar-tarragon mixture.
- Blend on medium speed, then slowly start pouring in the warm melted butter in a thin, steady stream. Blend until the sauce is thick and smooth.
6. Finish the Béarnaise:
- Add the remaining chopped tarragon, chives, and dill to the blender.
- Blend briefly to combine, then season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Garnish and serve:
- Spoon the Béarnaise sauce generously over the salmon fillets.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Ensure the salmon fillets are fully submerged in the poaching liquid to cook evenly.

- Use an instant-read thermometer to check the salmon's internal temperature; it should reach 145°F (63°C).

- Prepare the béarnaise sauce just before serving to maintain its smooth, creamy texture.

- If the béarnaise sauce separates, blend it again with a small spoonful of warm water to bring it back together.

- Fresh herbs make a big difference in this recipe; try to use the freshest you can find.

Poached salmon fillets with blender béarnaise is a delightful dish that brings together the delicate flavor of perfectly poached salmon and the luxurious richness of a freshly made béarnaise sauce. Serve it with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad to balance the richness of the sauce. Enjoy this elegant, restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your home.
