Fillet Of Salmon With Pinot Noir Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the wine, tomato, vinegar, shallot and garlic in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
• Add the stock and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.
• Brush the salmon with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add the salmon and cook until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a serving dish and top with the Pinot Noir sauce.

Steps:

• SALMON: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sautee portabellas in olive oil for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until soft, then set aside. Place each salmon fillet on two sheets of phyllo and sprinkle lightly with salt. Divide portabella mix evenly on top of fillets and wrap sheets around each fillet to form packets. Bake packets for 20-25 minutes until phyllo is lightly browned.
• SAUCE: Add Pinot Noir to sauce pan and reduce over medium heat by half. Add stock, red pepper puree and thyme. Reduce by another third. Turn off heat, swirl in butter, add salt and pepper to taste and remove thyme. Reheat slowly to a simmer before serving.
• To Plate: Spoon warmed sauce evenly over packets and garnish with thyme or mint sprig.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season both sides of the filet mignon generously with salt and pepper. Wrap a piece of bacon around the sides of each steak and secure with butcher's twine. In a large heavy, ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Place the steaks in the hot pan and cook until well seared on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Turn the steaks over, there should be a nice crust on top. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and rosemary; give everything a good stir. Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes or until the steaks are cooked medium-rare.
• Remove the steaks, mushrooms, and rosemary to a platter; cover to keep warm. Return the pan to the stove over medium-high heat. Deglaze with the wine, scraping up all the yummy bits in the bottom of the pan. Mix in the demi-glace, stirring to combine. Put the steaks and mushrooms back in the pan and coat in the pan sauce. Finish with a couple of tablespoons of butter to make it rich. Put the steak and mushrooms on 2 serving plates and cut off the butcher's twine from the filets. Pour the wine sauce on top and garnish each plate with a roasted rosemary sprig.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place sugar in heavy-bottomed saucepan, preferably nonstick and with rounded sides, and turn heat to medium. Cook without stirring (just shake the pan occasionally to redistribute sugar) until sugar liquefies and begins to turn brown, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and carefully add wine. Turn heat to high, and cook, stirring, until caramel dissolves again. Add rosemary sprig, and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is syrupy and reduced to just over 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes.
• As liquid reduces, heat a nonstick skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper, then place in pan and immediately transfer to oven. Cook 3 minutes, then turn salmon and cook another 3 minutes. Remove salmon when medium-rare or thereabouts (or cook another minute or two if you like it more done), and keep warm.
• When sauce is reduced, stir in balsamic vinegar and butter and turn heat to medium-low. Cook until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper, and remove rosemary sprig. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve over salmon, garnished with chopped rosemary.
