To make the beurre blanc, place the shallots, vinegar and wine in a pan and
reduce until there is almost no liquid left.

Add the cream and heat gently. Whisk in the butter a little at a time,
never allowing the sauce to boil. Season with lemon juice and a little salt
and black pepper.

Brush each salmon fillet with melted butter and season with salt and white
pepper. Place under a preheated grill for 5-6 minutes. Allow to rest for 2
minutes.

Serve with the beurre blanc and freshly steamed new potatoes.

NOTES : This classic salmon dish comes from Nantes. Served simply with new
potatoes and a green salad, this is a real summer treat.
