Roast Salmon with Sautéed Radishes and Sorrel Cream

     This Roast Salmon with Sautéed Radishes and Sorrel Cream has been on my "to make" list for over a year.  After several failed attempts to purchase fresh sorrel, I gave up -- only to find it, last week, growing in my neighbor's herb garden!  Of course, our neighbors gave me the sorrel and joined us for dinner.  Savory Tomato-Thyme Shortbread with Olive Gremolata was the appetizer served before this meal; Chocolate & Lavender Tartlets, the dessert.
     The original recipe calls for making the sorrel cream sauce while the salmon is roasting.  I cooked the sauce ahead and held it in my blender container at room temperature until I needed to finish it off.  I use a Vitamix which also allowed me to heat the sauce when I was blending.  I will show the recipe as printed, but if you do want to make the sauce slightly ahead of time, know that you may do so.

  recipe from Renee Erickson as printed in The Wall Street Journal

• Four 6- to 8-ounche salmon fillets, pin bones removed
• Salt
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups thinly sliced sorrel leaves, stems removed
• 12 radishes with some greens attached, cleaned and halved or quartered lengthwise into bite-size pieces

1.  PREHEAT OVEN to 425˚F.  Season salmon with salt.  Place fillets, skin side down, on a lightly greased sheet pan and transfer to oven.  Roast until salmon easily flakes when pressed on but remains slightly darker in color at its center, 10- 15 minutes, depending on thickness.
2.  Meanwhile, set a medium sauté pan over medium heat.  Swirl in 2 tablespoons butter.  Once butter has melted, add shallots and gently cook until translucent, about 7 minutes.  Add cream and simmer until slightly reduced and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.  Increase heat to medium-high and add sorrel leaves.  Cook until leaves just wilt, 1-2 minutes.  Remove pan from heat and transfer everything to a blender or food processor.  Purée until a smooth, uniform sauce forms, then season with salt to taste.
3.  Wipe out sauté pan and set it back over medium-high heat.  Swirl in remaining butter.  Once butter has melted, add radishes and sauté until just tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.  Season with salt to taste.
4. To serve, distribute sauce among four plates.  Place roasted salmon over sauce and top with sautéed radishes.

Eileen, this is a wonderfully different recipe, one that I'll check out again in the spring when I have radishes and sorrel and some wild salmon. Merci!
