Salmon the french way

The writing on this bag of charcoal does look pretentious, but truth is, it's a bit cheaper than what you can usually find in supermarkets (around 15€ a bag of 50L - can be found in "Motonet" among others). Burns faster, hotter, and doesn't have a bad smell. I've been introduced to this brand by one of my in laws who fancies himself as a grill master.

The heat is on.

Salmon almost ready.

"Saumon grillé sauce hollandaise" or in english "grilled salmon with hollandaise". The recipe for the sauce has been posted a few years back (tag: vegetable - aspargus). The fish is served with fresh green beans with butter & chopped parsley. As a general rule with the fish: the simpler the better! The hollandaise can be replaced by a "Béarnaise", a classic with grilled salmon and more generally with all char grilled things. Garlic butter works also great. But at the end of the day, a simple squeeze of lemon is probably the best to fully enjoy that unique grill flavor.

A bottle of Beaune 1er Cru Domaine des Riottes 2016 is the perfect partner

Ginger sorbet (Pirkka) soaked in Finlandia lime vodka to cleanse the palate.
