Try a deliciously grown-up preparation for those salmon fillets.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs. butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 (12-oz.) salmon fillet or 2 (6-oz.) fillets
  • Salt, pepper
  • 1/4 C. Irish whiskey
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbs. minced fresh tarragon
  • 1/4 C. whipping cream
  • Lime wedges

Directions

Melt butter in medium skillet. Add shallot and sauté 2 to 3 minutes. Season salmon with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté salmon 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to plate (salmon won't be completely cooked). Add whiskey, vinegar and tarragon to skillet and simmer 1 minute. Add cream. Season with salt and pepper. Return salmon to skillet, cover and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side. Divide fillet in half. Arrange half on each of 2 plates. Top with sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Yield: 2 servings
