Preparation

• Pan fried the seasoned salmon steaks with olive oil till just cooked under medium heat in a non stick pan.

• Sprinkle with pepper and sea salt to taste. Dish up and serve as a side for the salmon.
• Red Wine Sauce :
  Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to a non stick sauce pan, under low heat , saute minced shallots till transparents. Do not burn the shallots. Crank your burner to high heat and add 1/2 cup each of stock and red wine. Allow the mixture to reach a strong boil. Reduce the sauce down by about 50 percent by allowing it to boil awhile. Bring the heat down to medium or medium low. Pour in 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar Add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. At this point, it is all about consistency. Continue cooking until the sauce has reached the level of thickness you prefer. Turn off the heat and add 3 tablepsoons of butter. You may find it easier to stir in the butter if you have divided it into small pieces, rather than dropping in entire pats. You can also melt the butter ahead of time in the microwave, if you so choose. Finish it off by adding pepper, salt and about 1 teaspoon of finely chopped thyme leaves. Sauce your meat and serve right away.
