How Maurice does it
- 1
Finely chop the fresh tarragon and shallot. Crumble the chicken bouillon cube into a saucepan.
- 2
Add the chopped tarragon, shallot, water, and white wine to the saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- 3
Add the garlic clove, ginger, white wine vinegar, and Tabasco. Pour in the cream and simmer gently.
- 4
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding solids. Return the strained liquid to the pot.
- 5
Whisk in the butter until melted. Add the bean sprouts and simmer for 2 minutes; they should remain crunchy.
- 6
Season the salmon fillets with salt. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Pan-sear the salmon skin-side down for a few minutes until skin is crispy, then flip and cook for 4–5 minutes. Remove from pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
- 7
Spoon the sauce with bean sprouts over the salmon. If desired, use a hand blender to create a light foam on the sauce before serving.
