Salmon Pan Roasted Wchipotle Beurre Blanc Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place the salmon fillets on a board and working with a very sharp knife that's held almost parallel to the board, cut them into 12 thin slices. Divide the sea salt evenly over the slices of salmon and reserve.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small, heavy saucepan. Melt over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute. Cut out the white bulb of the fennel and cut it into tiny dice. You need 1 cup of diced fennel; if any of the bulb is left over, save it for another use. Reserve 4 teaspoons of the frilly green leaf at the other end of the fennel. Add the cup of diced fennel to the sauce pan and stir well to coat with the butter. Add the wine and the vinegar to the sauce pan. Reduce over high heat, until just a small amount of liquid remains ( a teaspoon or so). Moving the pan on and off the heat as required, start incorporating the remaining 10 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating with a broad wooden spoon. The sauce should be smooth, creamy, and medium-thick. Taste for seasoning.
• While finishing the sauce, steam the salmon slices: Place them on a buttered steamer rack and cook them over barely simmering water until just done (approximately 3-6 minutes). They should retain just a trace of red at the center. Remove and divide among 4 dinner plates stacking them on steamed fennel pieces. Pour the sauce around the fillets on each plate and garnish with the reserved fennel leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe saut¿ pan over medium-high heat, coat the bottom of the pan with oil and heat the oil. Pan-sear the seasoned fish, skin-side down, until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to the oven for 10 minutes. In a large, deep saut¿ pan over medium-high heat, cook the pancetta until crisp, stirring frequently. Then add the cabbage into the pan, cover the pan and continue cooking until the cabbage is soft, about 15 minutes.
• To make the Thyme Beurre Blanc: In a saucepan, combine the white wine, diced shallots, crushed garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook until the wine is reduced by 3/4, then strain the wine into another saucepan and gradually whisk in the butter until the sauce is smooth.
• Serve the salmon fillets over the cabbage and drizzle the beurre blanc over the top.
