Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Crack the pepper by pressing down on it with a heavy cast-iron skillet, 1 tablespoon at a time. Put the pepper in a bowl large enough to accommodate 1 steak.

  2. Step 2

    Using the pointed end of a vegetable peeler, hull the blackberries. Tear each berry into a few sections and gently mix with the pepper. Avoid mashing.

  3. Step 3

    Press a salmon steak into the pepper mixture, flip and repeat. Repeat with 2 more steaks. Spread a teaspoon of the salt in a large, dry skillet, preheated over medium heat. Add the 3 steaks and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning with a heavy square metal spatula to better keep the crust intact. Repeat with the remaining salt and remaining steaks.

  4. Step 4

    Garnish each steak with the chervil and serve immediately.

Does any other berry work for this?

I eat a lot of salmon and this dish is surprisingly simple and delicious. Brilliant!
