Method:
-
Briefly immerse the cherry tomatoes in boiling
water, then rinse immediately in iced water.
Skin with a small, sharp knife and remove the
stem end.
-
Heat the olive oil and quickly sauté
the garlic. Add the whole tomatoes and season
with salt, black pepper and sugar. Simmer over
a low heat.
-
Wash the chanterelles
in plenty of water just before using, so they do
not absorb the liquid. Spread them out on
kitchen paper to dry.
-
Heat the butter in a heavy
pan and cook the shallots until soft and
translucent. Add the chanterelles, season with
salt, pepper and nutmeg and cook until all the
liquid has evaporated.
-
Meanwhile, bring the white wine sauce to the
boil, whisking with a hand blender, and add the
whipped cream and tarragon. Remove from the
heat.
-
Sauté the salmon slices in some butter in a
clean pan over a low heat. Season to taste and
sprinkle with lemon juice.
-
Arrange the salmon on
serving plates with the cherry tomatoes and
chanterelles. Top with the sauce.
Note:
If
chanterelle mushrooms are unavailable, use other
small mushrooms. Porcini mushrooms are especially
delicious with the salmon slices.
