Salmon fillets with herb sauce, quails' eggs and asparagus

13 ingredients 30 min + 30 min Serves 10 openrecipes

I love to serve a long platter of these salmon fillets for a summer buffet. They look so pretty and the flavour of the herb sauce really compliments the salmon. This would be the prefect main meal to serve for a special occasion.
