Salmon In Beurre Noisette With Beans & Carrots In Honey-Mustard Dressing

I pity the folks who’ll never taste a properly cooked salmon 😦
What a shame to miss-out on he texture of salmon (as well as most other fish and seafood) which has been cooked the old-fashioned way:
“Au Pointe” – to the point (of being done) , perfect doneness.
I have written about this a hundred times and I don’t get tired to repeat myself again – just because you are being served by a lousy cook who does not know the finer points of cooking should not mean that you get denied the best of the best. If, on the other hand, you have really had a chance to compare the texture and taste of a half-cooked piece of fish to that of a properly cooked piece and you still prefer the “seared only” version, than I’ll back off and say thank’s God most of us have a choice to eat what we like, and how we like it, no matter what 🙂

(I will also leave it to you to take the enormous risk of consuming certain under-cooked proteins in a less than perfectly controlled environment (from source to preparing and handling); after all, what can a few extra worms in your body do to you…….. 😦

But on to happier thoughts and this wonderful dish which features a great salad, properly cooked salmon and that magic taste & texture-enhancer – brown butter (Beurre Noisette).
While hot brown butter is not a typical addition to salad, in the case of this beans and carrot salad in honey-mustard dressing it provides the perfect final touch.

P.S.
This salmon has been cooked slowly in whole butter, resulting in a soft skin, not recommended for human enjoyment. However, if you have a dog or cat living with you, they will most likely be ecstatic about this treat (Bella always is) 🙂
