Ingredients
- 3 shallots, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 4 tbsp dry white wine, e.g. chardonnay
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 salmon fillets, skin on
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 30 g butter
- 1 tbsp finely cut tarragon leaves
- a few sprigs of chives for garnish
Instructions
Place the shallots in a saucepan with the sherry vinegar and dry white wine. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the fish and cook, skin-side down, for about
5 minutes. Turn the fish over. Remove the pan from heat.
Add the butter and tarragon to the shallot reduction. Stir until the butter melts.
Drizzle a little of the shallot sauce on serving plates. Top with the salmon and top with more sauce. Garnish with sprigs of chives.
Serve with steamed potatoes.
