Directions

  1. Lightly season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt, then drizzle with lemon juice and let them marinate in a dish, turning occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated.
  2. In a bowl, cook the egg yolks with three tablespoons of water in a double boiler, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
  3. Once the mixture has cooled, gradually incorporate the melted butter, stirring constantly, then add a few drops of lemon juice and the caviar. ≈ 4 min
  4. Coat the marinated salmon with oil, then dredge it in breadcrumbs and grill it on a pre-oiled grill. If you don’t have a grill, cook it in the oven.
  5. Serve the salmon with lemon wedges, drizzled with the sauce, alongside cooked shrimp or langoustines, and steamed new potatoes, if desired.
