ONESIDED SALMON WITH LEEK AND WASABI
For 2

Two pieces of salomon, each weighing around 200 gr,
with the skin on one side.

2 - 3 leek , in pieces, only the white and light green part
2-3 pieces of garlic
0.7 liters of non-meat bullion
1-3 teaspoons of wasabi
2 tablespoons of butter, or more
green onion


Put the salmon in ice water.

Heat the bullion.
Add and cook the leek and the garlic around 10 minutes.

Put around 1 cup of water in a pot that is
big enough to accomodate the two pieces of
salmon, side by side.
Put the salmon in the pot with the skin down.

Heat the water carefully, allowing small bubbles.
It should reach around 90 degrees Celsius.

The fish should cook like this for between
15 to 20 minutes, till it feels warm on the top.

Careful, there should be a little water all the time,
and the fish should not cook too long.

Just before serving, warm the leek and garlic.
Put the leek, garlic and bullion in the mixer
till it becomes a puree.
Add more water, if necessary.
Add a little bit of wasabi and taste.
Add butter, and perhaps a little green onion.

Serve salmon with the puree.
