Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 10 min.
Salmon chard rolls
Trim the 8 leaves Swiss chard and put into warm water to wash them thoroughly.

Bring a large pan of slated water to the boil.

Stage 2 - 3 min.
Salmon chard rolls
As soon as the water boils, add the cleaned chard leaves and leave to cook for 2 or 3 minutes.

Stage 3 - 1 min.
Salmon chard rolls
Remove the leaves with a araignée (spider) or skimmer, then plunge into cold water.

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Salmon chard rolls
After they have cooled for a few minutes, remove the leaves and drain them.

Stage 5 - 8 min.
Salmon chard rolls
After draining, use a salad spinner, if you have one, to remove as much water as possible, then lay the leaves on absorbant paper.

Stage 6 - 30 min.
Salmon chard rolls
Grill the salmon portions.

Lay out 2 chard leaves on the worktop, quite flat and overlapping a little. Place a piece of salmon on top, straight from the pan (be careful, it's hot).

Stage 7
Salmon chard rolls
Then roll up the salmon in the leaves.

Stage 8
Salmon chard rolls
Trim off the ends of the roll neatly to show the lovely contrast between the pink of the salmon and the green of the chard.

Stage 9 - 3 min.
Salmon chard rolls
Put 1 tablespoon butter in a pan over medium heat, salt and pepper, then arrange the salmon rolls in the bottom together with any offcuts.

Leave on low heat just long enough to warm the leaves through for a couple of minutes on each side, as the salmon is already cooked.

Stage 10 - 18 min.
Salmon chard rolls
Meanwhile prepare the lemon sabayon with 2 egg yolks, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, salt and pepper.

Stage 11 - 5 min.
Salmon chard rolls
Heat the plates. Place a salmon roll in the centre with the trimmings on the side, and pour a ribbon of sabayon over.

Serve immediately.
Remarks
You can try using spinach instead of chard, which tastes just as good, but the rolls are trickier to make as the spinach leaves are very fragile and much smaller.
And to drink?
A fruity white wine, such as a Sauvignon from the Loire. Allow yourself to be tempted by a Pouilly-fumé...
Keeping
Without the sauce, several days in the fridge, protected by a plastic film.
