Method
Salmon
1
Place the salmon fillets in a vacuum-seal bag with the ghee and a pinch of sea salt. Cook in a water bath at 42C (108F) for 25 minutes until the flesh is translucent and exceptionally delicate. Remove carefully to prevent breaking.
Fennel Confit
2
Slice the fennel bulb into clean, tight wedges. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over ultra-low heat, add the star anise and fennel wedges, and cook slowly for 30 minutes until completely tender and translucent. Discard the star anise.
Caviar Beurre Blanc
3
Reduce the white wine vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat until almost completely evaporated. Whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat to low and vigorously whisk in the cold, cubed butter one piece at a time to form a glossy, thick emulsion. Off the heat, fold in the caviar and minced chives.
Plate
4
Pour a warm pool of Caviar Beurre Blanc into the center of a shallow rimmed plate. Carefully lift the slow-confited salmon from the oil and rest it atop the sauce. Arrange the tender fennel wedges alongside the fish, and garnish with fresh fennel fronds.
