I like salmon. And I like all kinds of cooked salmon. I wrote once about this, but I’ll write again. And again, and again, until I have enough of it, which is very unlikely to happen.

And, of course, I collect salmon recipes and cook salmon dishes, as for example that Salad with new potatoes and slices of apple-flavoured smoked salmon.

I have my favourite ones, and an ordinary steak is one of them. A bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. With white Sauvignon Blanc.

But I cook more complicated dishes, of course. And when Jean-Pierre offered to shoot his salmon dish for the project, I gave up quite soon. Since this is a very tasty and simple recipe from one of the best French chefs.
