Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the dandelion greens and discard any tough stems. Drain, shred finely and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and vinegar in a saucepan until the butter melts. Add the dandelion greens and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, put the broth into a saucepan and cook down over relatively high heat until reduced to about ½ cup. Add the cream and return to a boil. Let cook over moderately high heat about 5 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remove from the heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Blend the sauce with the dandelion mixture.

  4. Step 4

    Heat the clarified butter in a skillet large enough to hold the salmon pieces in one layer without crowding. When quite hot, cook salmon pieces about 1 ½ minutes over fairly high heat on one side. Turn carefully and cook for about 1 ½ minutes on the second side.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon equal portions of the dandelion sauce onto the middle of six hot plates. Put one salmon piece in the center of each serving. Top each salmon piece with a teaspoon of caviar and serve.
