for the salmon:
2 salmon fillets, about 5 or 6 ounces each
unsalted butter, softened
kosher salt
two pinches of grains of paradise, crushed
6 juniper berries, crushed
some fennel fronds
for the salad and dressing:
3 cups watercress, washed and spun dry
1 cup sorrel leaves, washed and spun dry (You can substitute watercress for this)

1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On a large piece of buttered foil, place salmon and season with salt, spices, and aromatics. Dot with a bit of butter. Close up the foil into a packet. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
2
Whisk the lime juice, mustard and honey. Drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until creamy. Taste. Whisk in more lime, mustard honey or olive oil if desired. Set aside.
3
Break up the watercress into smaller pieces, discarding large legs. Rip the sorrel into bite size pieces, removing the thick legs. Place both in a bowl.
4
Toss salad with dressing, reserving a bit for the salmon. Taste for salt. Plate the salads. Set each salmon fillet over the salad and spoon a little extra dressing over the fish.
5
Alternatively, let the fish cool completely. Break up the fish into chunks and toss with the salad.
