Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup full-bodied dry red wine such as Côtes du Rhône
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots (3 to 4)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (1-inch-thick) salmon steaks (each about 1/2 lb)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine wine, shallots, juice, vinegar, tomato paste, and bay leaf in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan and boil over moderately high heat until mixture is thick and jamlike and reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Transfer mixture to a small bowl set in a bowl of ice and cold water and stir until cold to the touch, about 5 minutes. Remove from ice water and stir in zest, butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
  • Preheat broiler. Line rack of a broiler pan with foil.
  • Pat fish dry, then brush both sides with oil (2 tablespoons total) and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Broil fish about 5 inches from heat, turning over once, until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
  • Top each steak with 1 to 2 tablespoons red-wine butter.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The salmon is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the red wine butter sauce was divine. I will definitely be making this sauce again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salmon turned out amazing. It was moist and flaky on the inside, with a crispy skin on the outside. The red wine butter sauce was also very good, with a nice balance of acidity and richness.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the red wine butter sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, and it was a hit with the whole family.
