   Chop leeks into medium size pieces and soak in cold

   on medium heat and saute leeks for 2 or 3 minutes.
   When soft and transparent, add 1 cup light cream, salt
   and pepper, and reduce until thickened. Set aside.
   
   Chop shallots and saute them with 1 tsp butter. De
   glaze with white wine and reduce to dry. Add vegetable
   bouillon, saffron and reduce by half.
   
   Incorporate the remaining butter slowly, mixing with a
   whisk until sauce thickens. Blend on high speed for 30
   seconds. Set aside.
   
   Saute the salmon, skin side down, on medium heat. When
   the skin is crisp, remove from heat and place in
   preheated oven (400 degrees) for 5 minutes. Remove
   from oven and allow to rest. Reheat leeks and the
   sauce and place 2 tbs of leeks in center of warm
   plate. Place salmon on top of leeks, skin side up, and
   pour sauce around. Serves 6.
