Method

  • Set the oven to 200 °C.

  • Sprinkle salt over the salmon and let it rest.

  • Rinse off the salt from the salmon in cold water, dry with a paper towel, and place in a greased, ovenproof dish.

  • Melt the butter.

  • Chop parsley, thyme, and tarragon finely, and mix with butter and breadcrumbs.

  • Spread the herb mixture over the salmon and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

  • Bake the salmon in the oven until just cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

Sauce

  • Grate the zest and squeeze the juice of the lemon and lime.

  • Beat egg yolk, and mix with the zest and juice of the lemon and lime in a small bowl.

  • Place the bowl in a double boiler with boiling water, and whisk until the sauce thickens.

  • Remove the bowl from the double boiler and stir in crème fraîche.

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Side Dishes

  • Slice the cucumber into long, thin slices. A cheese slicer works well.

  • Finely chop parsley.
