Melt butter in a pan over medium; add the diced leek and a big pinch of salt and sweat 6 to 7 minutes until soft, not browned.

Deglaze with white wine and a little lemon juice and cook until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Add the creme fraiche and the splash of cream, then a little cayenne and tarragon mustard; stir and reduce the heat to low.
Creme fraiche sauce
- wild salmon
Slice the salmon into even quarter- to half-inch slices and lay them on the barely simmering sauce; after about 30 seconds start moving them gently until the salmon just starts to fall apart, then turn off the heat.

Stir in a handful of fresh herbs, taste and adjust the seasoning.

Boil spaghetti timed to finish with the sauce; toss and garnish with a little cayenne.
