INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7.
Season the underside pieces of the salmon and rub the tops with olive
oil. Chargrill top sides on a pre heated griddle to form a golden
crust. Don't attempt to move the pieces of fish until the crust has
formed, when they will move easily.
Cook in a preheated oven, golden side up, for about 3 to 4 minutes
dependant on how thick the fillets are (salmon should be slighty pink
in the middle when ready). Rest in a warm place whilst you finish the
sauce (another 3 or 4 minutes).
Cook the redcurrants, jelly and seasoning in the muscat wine until
completely fallen. Blend and then sieve into a clean pan and whisk in
half the butter and half the chopped tarragon. Taste and adjust
seasoning. If the sauce is too thick add a little more wine or fish
stock. If it is too thin, reduce over a high heat to the desired
viscosity. Add sugar if needed.
In a hot pan or wok, stir fry the courgettes in the remaining butter
and tarragon until just changing colour but still crisp. Season.
Divide the courgettes between 4 plates. Put the salmon on top and
pour a little of the sauce around.
This is a very refreshingly aromatic sauce which will cut through the
richness of the salmon. Some buttery new potatoes would be good to
serve it with.
