Salmon is probably my favourite fish & I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. Note overnight marinating is required. Ingredients:
2 cups maple syrup |
2 tablespoons sea salt |
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets |
8 ounces chardonnay wine |
1/2 cup whole grain mustard |
8 ounces cream |
1 cup chopped chives |
Directions:
1. Whisk syrup and salt in small bowl until well combined.
2. Place salmon in a container just big enough to hold them in a single layer.
3. Pour syrup mixture over top, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
4. Remove salmon from the brine and place on a roasting rack.
5. Let it drain briefly; bake in a preheated 400F oven for 5- 7 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish).
6. To judge doneness, squeeze the fish or prod with a thin-bladed knife.
7. The flesh should just begin to flake and will be moist and juicy inside.
8. Meanwhile, place Chardonnay, mustard and cream into a small pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 8- 10 minutes to allow liquid to reduce and sauce to thicken.
9. Reserve& keep hot while the salmon cooks.
10. Just before serving, add the chives and swirl to combine.
