Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups dry vermouth
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 teaspoons coarsely crushed juniper berries*
1 teaspoon coarsely crushed green peppercorns
1 8-ounce bottle clam juice
3/4 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 6-ounce skinless boneless salmon fillets
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives
2 tablespoons dry gin
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Combine vermouth, shallots, juniper berries, and peppercorns in heavy small saucepan. Boil until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 12 minutes. Add clam juice and boil until reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Add cream and boil until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 8 minutes. Add butter 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until melted before adding more. Strain sauce through fine-meshed strainer. Return sauce to saucepan. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.)
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salmon with parsley, then salt and pepper. Add salmon to skillet and sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, rewarm sauce. Stir in olives, gin, and lemon juice. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Place salmon on plates. Drizzle sauce over. Garnish with chives and serve.
  • *Juniper berries are available in the spice section of most supermarkets.

I'm allergic to fish, but this recipe looks so good I might have to try it with chicken.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. The salmon was moist and flavorful and the sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.

The sauce was a bit too strong for my taste, but the salmon was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using a lighter sauce next time.

This is now my go-to recipe for salmon! The martini sauce is delicious and adds a unique flavor to the fish. I served this with roasted vegetables and it was a hit with the whole family.
