Ingredients
2 servings
Crispy Salmon
Salmon Fillets with skin on400 g
Lard1 tbsp
Coarse Sea Salt1 tsp
French Butter Emulsion
Egg Yolks4 pieces
Unsalted Butter100 g
Heavy Whipping Cream50 ml

Method
Crispy Salmon
1
Preheat your oven to 220C (425F). Pat the salmon skin bone-dry with paper towels and score the skin lightly. Season all sides generously with coarse sea salt.
2
Melt the lard in an oven-safe cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Press the salmon skin-side down into the hot fat for 2 minutes to lock in the crispiness, then transfer the entire pan to the oven for 6 to 8 minutes until cooked through.
French Butter Emulsion
3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook it until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty. Remove from heat immediately.
4
Whisk the egg yolks, heavy whipping cream, and fine sea salt in a heatproof bowl. Slowly drizzle in the warm brown butter while whisking vigorously to create a thick, velvety warm sauce.
Plate
5
Remove the salmon from the oven, peel off the super crispy skin and place it on top of the fillet. Pour a heavy pool of the warm egg yolk butter emulsion on a serving paper boat or plate, and slide the salmon right over the top to dip as you eat.
