Salmon Medallions
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- salmon
- butter
- mayonnaise (or mayonnaise-derived sauce bound with aspic)
- chaud-froid sauce (white, pink, or green)
- aspic (meat jelly)

Instructions
- Cut escalopes of 8 millimeters thickness from the salmon. Poach them gently in the oven on a buttered baking sheet, then cool under light pressure.
- Trim the cooled medallions with a uniform cutter (oval or round, according to preference).
- Coat them either with mayonnaise or one of its derived sauces bound with aspic (meat jelly); or alternatively with a chaud-froid sauce (white, pink, or green). Decorate as desired and glaze with aspic.
- Arrange on the platter as you would for cold salmon cutlets.
