Salmon Braised In Pinot Noir 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:

• 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.
