Salmon Steak with Wine Sauce
Servings: 1

1 (4 oz) Salmon Steak, thawed if frozen
1 t Canola Oil
1-1/2 Tsp Butter Or Margarine
1/4 t Cornstarch
1 Tsp White Pepper
1/4 c Half & Half Light Cream
1 ea Large Beaten Egg Yolk
1 T Dry White Wine

Preheat a 6-1/2-inch microwave browning dish at 100% power for 3 minutes. Add oil to the browning dish; swirl to coat the dish.

Place the salmon steak in the browning dish. Micro-cook, covered, at 100% power for 30 seconds. Turn the salmon steak and micro-cook, covered at 50% power for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Transfer the salmon steak to a dinner plate. Spoon the wine sauce atop. Serve with mixed vegetbales or a salad.

Answer 3

I put butter, salt, pepper and little bit of garlic salt on the fillet - put your oven rack on the lower middle slot and broil for about 20 minutes - depending on the size of the fillet. Comes out perfect everytime.

Answer 4

Marinate in italian dressing & fresh minced garlic. Place marinated salmon on piece of foil, skin side down after spraying foil w/ Pam. Grill about 10 - 15 minutes over medium coals. Yummy!!!

Answer 5

melt about 1 tablespoon of butter add minced garlic. pour it all over the salmon. then sprinkle it with bread crumbs. i put the oven on at 350. so depending on the size of the fillet the time will vary. when it's flakie it's ready.

Answer 6

Three ways (season by feel). Simple but really kicks up the flavor.

1) Mustard, soy sauce, garlic, pepper (grill or pan fry)

2) Lemon juice, pepper, garlic, thyme (gril or pan fry)

3) If it's really fresh, salmon sashimi is really tasty

Even mocrowaving is good. Fish is the only meat that cooks really well in the microwave and remains moist and juicy.

Answer 7

wrap in foil together with a few cubes of butter, chopped parsley and garlic and sea salt generously laid on top (salt just to taste, more parsley and garlic) and a few slices of lemon wacked under the grill for probably 15 min or so...depending how good your grill is. Check to see how its doing, take care not to over cook...should look pink and juicy.

Answer 8

Fry it slowly in olive oil and butter. Don't bother with seasoning other than a pinch of salt, you'll just obscure the taste of the fish.

Answer 9

large salmon fillet
1/4 cup melted BUTTER
lemon juice
montreal steak spice

season up the fishy, chuck him in the oven for 20-30 mins, and voila... gourmet as easy as 1,2,3,4 :)

Answer 10

Sprinkle both sides with a little pepper.

Steam it for a few minutes.

Eat with baby new potatoes rolled in butter and chives.
