Time 1h10m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup diced carrots
1 pound fish bones, and the salmon head, gills removed
3 1/2 cups dry red wine, such as a Cotes du Rhone
1 cup water
1/2 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
4 sprigs fresh parsley
4 salmon fillets, boneless and skinless, each 6 to 8 ounces, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, place one tablespoon of the butter, a quarter cup of the shallots, the onions, celery and carrots. Cook, stirring, for one minute over a medium-high flame. Chop the fish bones and head coarsely and add them to the pan. Cook and stir for two minutes. Pour three cups of the wine and the water into the pan, then add the bay leaf, thyme and parsley. Reduce the cooking liquid for 45 minutes over a medium-low flame, or until it reaches about one cup. Strain the broth into a pan. Discard the vegetables.
  • Select a pan large enough to hold the fish in one layer. Rub the bottom of the dish with a half teaspoon of butter and sprinkle the remaining shallots over the bottom of the pan. Arrange the fish, skin side down, in the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper generously. Add the remaining half cup of wine and fish broth. Dot the fish with one tablespoon of the butter.
  • Place the pan over a medium-high flame and cook, covered, for about 90 seconds, flip the fillets gently and cook another 90 seconds (cooking time may vary with thickness of the fish). The salmon should be just barely cooked in the center; do not overcook.
  • Transfer the fish to a serving dish, cover with foil and keep it warm.
  • Over a high flame, reduce the cooking liquid to about one cup. Strain it through a fine sieve and into a saucepan. Swirl in the remaining butter and, while hot, spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too expensive for my taste. I think I could have found a similar recipe for less money.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been cooked for a few minutes less.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a little more savory.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The red wine sauce was not very flavorful, and the salmon was a bit dry. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some more herbs and spices to the sauce.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of red wine. But I'm so glad I did! The sauce was delicious, and it didn't overpower the salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and it was so moist and flaky.

I'm not a huge fan of salmon, but this recipe changed my mind. The red wine sauce was so good that I could have eaten it with a spoon. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and it flaked easily. I will definitely be making this dish again.
