Roasted Salmon with White Wine Sauce

1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place the salmon fillet on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt.

2. Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour, cooking for 1 minute, then stir in the wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper. Break the salmon into large chunks, and serve topped with the sauce.

   

Cook's Note

If you want to make a fine dining look, simply break the portions of salmon into 2-ounce portions. If you want to add a little zing to the sauce, add in fresh dill and/or capers to your taste.
