Steps:
- In small saucepan, combine shallots, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes.
- Turn down heat to lowest possible flame. Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding a piece as previous one melts. Don't allow sauce to become too hot. For a more smooth sauce, strain through a fine sieve, if desired.
- Season with salt and pepper and keep over a bain-marie. Just before serving, stir in herbs.
WILD SALMON WITH ENGLISH PEAS AND MUSTARD BEURRE BLANC
Blanched English peas are scattered around a simple roasted side of wild salmon. Beurre blanc, served on the side, is essentially a warm vinaigrette made with butter instead of oil. Finish this dinner dish with a sprinkling of chives and-if you have them-a few flowering pea shoots.

Steps:
- Blanch fresh peas in a medium pot of salted boiling water until bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath and let cool completely. Drain. (If using frozen peas, skip this step.)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub salmon on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Roast until medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine shallot, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
- Reduce heat to low. Whisk in mustard to combine, then whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece as soon as previous one melts. Season with salt and pepper. (If not serving right away, keep beurre blanc warm over a pan of simmering water; do not let sauce simmer.)
- Arrange salmon on a platter and top with peas. Sprinkle with chives, top with pea shoots, and serve, with warm beurre blanc alongside.
BEET-AND-DILL-ROASTED WILD SALMON
Now that's a spectacular side of salmon! The fish gets its jewel-like color and deep flavor from a marinade of grated beets, fresh dill, horseradish, and lemon zest. It's roasted in the same dish as the crispy potatoes nestled underneath.

Steps:
- Combine beet, dill, horseradish, zest, and 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Season both sides of salmon generously with salt and pepper; transfer to sheet. Spread beet mixture on top. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss potatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Shingle potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, in a single layer. Bake until tender, about 35 minutes; remove from oven.
- Remove beet mixture from top of salmon with a spoon; spread over center of potatoes. Top beet mixture with fish (you may need to tuck part of tail end under fish to fit in pan), drizzle with oil, and bake until salmon is medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes. Squeeze with lemon, garnish with dill fronds, and serve.

Steps:
- Roast potatoes and beets: Preheat oven to 400 degrees with one rack in the center and one rack in the bottom third. In a small roasting pan, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, the thyme, salt, and pepper, and cover with aluminum foil. In a second small roasting pan, combine beets and the remaining tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper, add 1/2 cup water, and cover with aluminum foil. Transfer potatoes and beets to oven, and bake until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 35 to 45 minutes for the potatoes and 45 minutes to 1 hour for the beets. Remove from oven, and let stand until cool; set aside.
- Prepare salmon: Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees and place a roasting pan filled with water on bottom rack. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil parchment; set aside. Chop parsley, shallots, dill, tarragon, and lemon zest together until very fine. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in oil; set aside.
- Season skin side of fish with 2 teaspoons coarse salt and a pinch of pepper. Place skin side down on prepared baking sheet. Season with fleur de sel and more pepper. Coat fish with herb mixture. Transfer to oven, and bake 30 minutes for rare to medium rare. Remove from oven, and let stand until room temperature.
- To assemble: Cut potatoes in half. Toss with 2 teaspoons mustard vinaigrette and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Peel beets, and cut into wedges. Place in a small bowl. Season with 1/8 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, the olive oil, and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Cut eggs in half lengthwise, and season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, toss dandelion greens with 3 tablespoons vinaigrette, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Arrange greens on a platter. Top with potatoes, beets, and eggs. Top with salmon. Alternatively, divide greens among six plates. Place 3 potato halves on each salad. Spoon beets around each plate. Flake salmon and lay over greens in center of plate. Garnish each plate with half an egg.
