Salmon and Shrimp

Béarnaise Sauce

Method

Preparing the Salmon and Shrimp

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your wood grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

    Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the Gulf shrimp with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4-6 minutes until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Grill the Shrimp

    Place the shrimp on skewers or directly on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.

Making the Béarnaise Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until completely melted. Set aside.

  2. 7

    Cook the Shallots

    In another small saucepan, combine the minced shallots, chopped tarragon, white wine vinegar, and water. Heat over medium until the mixture reduces by half.

  3. 8

    Prepare the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the reduced shallot mixture.

  4. 9

    Create the Sauce

    Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Whisk continuously while slowly drizzling in the melted butter until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

    Plate the Dish
