Salmon w/ Sandefjordsmør

For dinner tonight, I made a seared Norwegian salmon topped with a traditional Norwegian sauce called Sandefjordsmør. On the side are boiled potatoes and agurksalat (cucumber salad). My plates are from Porsgrund. They are the bondemønster pattern.

My recipe for Sandefjorsmør:

– juice from 1/2 lemon
– 1 stick unsalted butter (100g) chopped into cubes
– 3/4 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp white pepper
– 1 handful (3-4 Tbsp) chopped Parsley
– 1/2 Tbsp Tarragon

1.) Heat a medium sauce pan on medium heat.
2.) Pour the lemon juice into the pan. Heat until the lemon juice is reduced by about 1/2.
3.) Stir in the heavy cream. Gently simmer until reduced by about 1/2 and easily coats the back of a spoon.
4.) Slowly whisk in a few cubes of butter at a time to avoid separating the emulsion.
5.) Add in the salt, white pepper, parsley, and tarragon. Stir and remove from heat. Serve immediately.
