Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons butter
4 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only), halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whipping cream
6 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add leeks; sauté until tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup cream to skillet; cook over very low heat until almost all of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Preheat broiler. Butter medium broilerproof dish. Stir salmon into leek mixture. Transfer mixture to prepared dish. Pour 2 tablespoons cream over leek mixture. Broil until top is golden brown, watching closely to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chives.
