Saumon a lOseille
- 1 cup dry white wine, preferably Chardonnay
- 1/3 cup dry vermouth
- 1/4 cup finely minced shallots
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups fresh young sorrel, washed, stemmed, and torn into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- One 12-ounce center-cut salmon fillet, boneless, with skin on
- Pour the wine and the vermouth into a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Scatter the shallots over them and cook.
- When reduced by half, add the cream.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan.
- Reserving a small handful for garnish, stir the sorrel into the sauce a handful at a time.
- Add the lemon juice, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook briefly, stirring.
- Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- Cut the salmon fillet in half crosswise.
- Then cut each piece into two rectangles; you should have four portions.
- Gently pound each piece with the flat end of a cleaver to make the salmon pieces thinner.
- Season the skin side of the salmon with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, and cook the fillets, skin side first, for 30 seconds.
- Flip, and cook for another 30 seconds.
