Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler to high.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced shallots and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Increase heat to high, add the dry white wine, and simmer until reduced by half.
  5. Pour in the clam juice or fish stock and simmer again until reduced by half.
  6. Strain the mixture into a clean saucepan to remove solids, then stir in the heavy cream.
  7. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil and reduce slightly until it begins to thicken. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
  8. Lightly brush four large dinner plates with olive oil.
  9. Slice the salmon fillet into very thin escalopes and arrange them to cover each plate completely.
  10. Bring 1 1/2 cups of the prepared white wine sauce to a boil in a small pot.
  11. Spoon the hot sauce evenly over the salmon on each plate, ensuring the fish is completely covered.
  12. Place the plates directly under the broiler.
  13. Broil for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the salmon is just barely cooked through.
  14. Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with fresh chervil and chives. Serve immediately.
