Roast Salmon Steaks With Pinot Noir Syrup 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.

ROASTED SALMON STEAKS WITH PINOT NOIR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place sugar in heavy-bottomed saucepan, preferably nonstick and with rounded sides, and turn heat to medium. Cook without stirring (just shake the pan occasionally to redistribute sugar) until sugar liquefies and begins to turn brown, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and carefully add wine. Turn heat to high, and cook, stirring, until caramel dissolves again. Add rosemary sprig, and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is syrupy and reduced to just over 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes.
• As liquid reduces, heat a nonstick skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper, then place in pan and immediately transfer to oven. Cook 3 minutes, then turn salmon and cook another 3 minutes. Remove salmon when medium-rare or thereabouts (or cook another minute or two if you like it more done), and keep warm.
• When sauce is reduced, stir in balsamic vinegar and butter and turn heat to medium-low. Cook until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper, and remove rosemary sprig. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve over salmon, garnished with chopped rosemary.
