Similar to a homemade pesto sauce (but without the cheese), this flavorful, bright green sauce is made from a puree of fresh herbs and walnuts.  The fresh herbs that make up this lovely sauce are fresh parsley, chives and sorrel. If you aren’t familiar with sorrel, it is a spinach-looking herb popular in French cooking, that has a very lemony taste– with a slight acidity like that of a tart apple.  Beautiful when melted into a cream sauce, sorrel is also wonderful in fresh salad, in a bowl of comforting soup, and also sauteed into your favorite egg dish. ( It is also very easy to grow, right in your own garden!)  Here, the fresh sauce is a welcomed addition to seared salmon fillets.  I like adding a touch of lemon juice to the sauce itself, along with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.  Feel free to prepare the salmon in whichever way you prefer: searing was nice, but you could grill it, bake it, or even broil it if you choose.
