Fillet Of Salmon With Pinot Noir Sauce Recipes

ROAST SALMON STEAKS WITH PINOT NOIR SYRUP RECIPE:

Steps:

• Prepare Pinot Noir Syrup: Cook sugar over medium heat in heavy-bottomed non-stick saucepan. Do not stir (shake the pan occasionally to redistribute sugar) until sugar liquefies and begins to turn brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly add the wine, stirring with a whisk until the caramelized sugar has dissolved; add the sprig of rosemary. Return to high heat, cook, stirring occasionally, approximately 10 to 15 minutes or until the sauce becomes a syrup and reduces to approximately 1/2 cup. When sauce is reduced, stir in balsamic vinegar and butter; turn heat to medium-low. Cook until butter melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove rosemary sprig.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Baking the Salmon: Heat a heavy, oven-proof skillet (I use my cast-iron pan) over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke, add just enough oil to make a light film.
• Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper and then place in hot skillet; sear until nicely browned, about 1 minute.
• Flip the salmon over and put the skillet in the oven. Roast for approximately 4 to 6 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F (salmon will be slightly opaque in thickest part). Remember the salmon continues to cook after it is removed from the heat source.
• Carefully remove salmon from pan and transfer onto individual serving plates. Spoon Pinot Noir Sauce over salmon and serve with chopped rosemary.
• Approximately cooking times for salmon:
• 1/4 to 1/3-inch - 3 to 4 minutes
• 1/2 to 3/4-inch - 4 to 6 minutes
• 1 to 1 1/2-inch - 8 to 12 minutes
• Makes 4 servings.

PINOT NOIR BUTTER SAUCE RECIPE:

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the shallots, wine, and peppercorns; bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer until reduced in volume by 1/2, approximately 2 minutes.
• Whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, removing the pan from the heat periodically to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking. Salt to taste.
• Strain into a clean container. Pour the prepared Pinot Noir Butter Sauce over your perfectly cooked steaks just before serving.
• Makes 1 cup sauce.

SALMON WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Place salmon in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon dill. Cover and bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. , Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the yogurt, sugar, seasoning blend and remaining dill. Cook and stir over low heat until warmed. Serve with the salmon.

SALMON BRAISED IN PINOT NOIR

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the sauce.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned on at least one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 4 minutes (reduce the heat to medium if the pan starts to get dark). Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the Pinot Noir, bay leaf, and thyme sprig, scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, and boil until the wine is reduced by about half, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cream and bring to a brisk simmer.
• Nestle the salmon fillets into the vegetables and pile some of the vegetables on top of the fillets to keep the fish moist. Tightly cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and braise in the oven until the fish is almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness.
• With a slotted spatula, transfer the salmon to 4 shallow serving bowls. Concentrate the sauce by placing the pan over medium-high heat and boiling until it's thickened to your liking. Discard the bay leaf and thyme sprig. Stir in the chopped thyme and parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper, spoon the sauce over the salmon, and serve.
