Salmon with apple and herb beurre blanc
My family loves pan-seared salmon. Normally, we enjoy it with a brown butter and caper sauce, but this time I decided to try something different. We had bunches of fresh, sweet herbs in the fridge, and I had a hunch they'd work well with a little leftover apple juice. It took a little (okay, a lot) of butter, plus a splash of cream to bring it together, but in the end the sauce turned out really delicious. Its slight sweetness complemented the fish beautifully.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small pot over medium-low heat, and add the shallot and garlic. Sweat them slowly for 2 or 3 minutes until they're soft but not browned. Add the apple juice and cider vinegar, and let simmer until only about 2 tbsp liquid remains.
- 2
Whisk 4 tbsp cold butter into the pot, one tbsp at a time. The sauce should thicken slightly as it emulsifies. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- 3
Turn the heat down to low and whisk in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to warm up for 1 or 2 minutes, careful not to let it boil. For better presentation, strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve. If you don't mind it rustic or simply run out of time (as I obviously did, from the picture), you can skip this step. Add the fresh herbs, adjust the seasoning, then turn the heat down to minimum as you cook the salmon.
- 4
Add a knob of butter and small splash of olive oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, and fry them for 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove the fillets to a plate and carefully peel off the skins. Serve the salmon with a generous drizzle of the sauce.

Pan-Grilled Blue Marlin with Beurre Blanc Sauce Pan-Grilled Blue Marlin with Beurre Blanc Sauce
This is a slightly fancier variation to the other blue marlin recipe I wrote about a while back. The sauce should be consumed immediately, or at the very least kept warm for up to an hour. Normal recipe for Beurre Blanc includes a shallot but again Mrs Wyrm has problems with that thanks to the aftermath of Covid-19 so it's been omitted. Add a finely minced one to the sauce is you like. Merry Christmas to all! 🇫🇷☃️🎄🎅 #12plates

Salmon Wellington Salmon Wellington
There's a food culture campaign going on at the British Embassy in Japan that I attended called "Food is GREAT: A Taste of Britain."I think using salmon that's meant for sashimi is a good idea.If you have leftover cucumber mix, you can use it as a dressing.When wrapping the salmon with the pie crust, make sure no air gets in. Before baking it, poke it 3 or 4 times with a skewer so the air can escape.You can accompany it with salad or tartar sauce. Recipe by British Embassy

I restricted the amount of butter (which is animal fat) used as much as possible in this recipe.Transform your regular meunière a bit more luxurious.I've reduced the amount of butter as much as possible to make it healthier.Pan fry the salmon in grapeseed or vegetable oil, and jus add a little butter at the end. The fish is less liable to get burned that way.The accompanying vegetables are just an example. You can serve this with lettuce or potatoes or whatever you like. Recipe by mielle -
