  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons very finely minced shallots
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more to garnish
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed and pin bones pulled
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cassava flour
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine shallots, lemon juice, and wine. Cook until shallots are tender and liquid reduces, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  2. Stir in heavy cream to cool the mixture.
  3. Lower heat and whisk as you add butter one piece at a time until the sauce is thick and glossy. If it simmers, remove from heat and add more butter to cool down.
  4. Remove from heat, add salt, white pepper, chives, and lemon zest. Adjust salt to taste and keep warm.
  5. Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper, dust with cassava flour, ensuring even coating.
  6. Heat avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon until golden brown, about 3 minutes each side for medium doneness.
  7. Place salmon on plates and drizzle with lemon-chive beurre blanc. Garnish with additional chives. Serve immediately.
