Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided |
4 sweet onions, halved vertically and sliced 1/4 inch thick |
1 (750-milliliter) bottle pinot noir, divided |
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips |
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced |
2 cups fish or seafood broth |
3 garlic cloves, sliced |
1 large bay leaf |
6 (6- to 8-ounce) salmon fillets |
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook 20 minutes, stirring often. Add 1 1/2 cups of wine, bell pepper, and brown sugar; cook 20 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring often.
2. Add olives, and cook 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat, and keep warm.
3. Combine remaining wine, fish broth, garlic, and bay leaf in a deep skillet or Dutch oven; bring to a simmer. Add salmon, skin-side down. Cover and simmer 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove to a serving platter with a slotted spatula.
4. Pour 1 cup poaching liquid into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until liquid reduces to 1/3 cup. Remove from heat, and stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter, parsley, and pepper. Spoon 1/2 cup onion confit over each salmon fillet; drizzle with butter-parsley sauce.
