This American Comfort Toast leans on buttermilk and herb to do the heavy lifting. We sear the Salmon for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the buttermilk and herb elements, and pat the salmon dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the salmon. Sear in a hot pan without crowding until a deep golden crust forms, then rest briefly.
Stir in the yellow mustard and the rest of the buttermilk and herb flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the leek along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped parsley and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
