Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.
Trim the 8 leaves Leaf beet (swiss chard) and put into warm water to wash them thoroughly.
Bring a large pan of slated water to the boil.
Bring a large pan of slated water to the boil.
Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.
As soon as the water boils, add the cleaned chard leaves and leave to cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.
Remove the leaves with a araignée (spider) or skimmer, then plunge into cold water.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.
After they have cooled for a few minutes, remove the leaves and drain them.
Stage 5 - ⌛ 8 min.
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.
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
Then roll up the salmon in the leaves.
Stage 8
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.
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.

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.

Vanilla sugar
Almost essential in patisserie, you can find it in expensive little sachets of about 10g. It's necessary to distinguish between the vanilla sugar which really contains vanilla, and vanillin sugar, purely chemical which has never seen a vanilla pod. Here is how to quickly make a whole jar full of your own vanilla sugar. August 12th 2018446 K 15 30 min.
Ocean bread
The idea for this bread was inspired by an amusing coincidence: the proportion of salt needed for good bread is 35 g of salt per litre of water, which just happens to be the exact concentration of salt in the Atlantic Ocean. So it's possible to make bread using sea water to provide all the salt needed, rather than normal fresh water. Not only does it work, the resulting bread is excellent!

Sausagemeat
Sausagemeat is a mixture of fatty pork (belly bacon here) with leaner meat, all minced and seasoned. In this version I have used veal as the additional meat. October 3rd 2019247 K3.8 15 min.
Pork chops in the oven
To cook a pork chop well, without it drying out, one of the best methods is to cook it in two stages: start by pan-frying, then finish in the oven. This recipe adds flavour with mustard and thyme, with the cooking juices deglazed and reduced before serving. August 16th 2015336 K3.5 25 min.
Baked Camembert with Walnuts
Camembert can be melted in the oven, like this hot box cheese, but here it has the added delight of toasted chopped walnuts, served on a bed of hot potatoes. March 13th 201670 K3.8 60 min.
