  1. 1. Season the Ora King salmon-center cut fillets generously with Maldon sea salt. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 tbsp of clarified butter over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. 2. Sear the salmon very gently to a perfect medium-rare, approximately 3 minutes per side, ensuring a delicate crust without overcooking the center.
  3. 3. In a separate small saucepan, combine 2 tbsp white wine vinegar and 2 tbsp dry vermouth. Bring to a simmer and reduce until only a tablespoon of liquid remains.
  4. 4. Lower the heat to the lowest setting and begin whisking in the 6 tbsp of chilled, cubed cultured unsalted butter, one cube at a time, never allowing the sauce to boil so the emulsion stays thick and creamy.
  5. 5. Once all butter is incorporated, fold in 1 tbsp non-pareil capers, 1 tsp minced fresh tarragon, and 1 tsp microplaned lemon zest.
  6. 6. Plate the salmon immediately and drape with the tarragon beurre blanc sauce.
