In a medium saucepan, pour 1 bottle of red wine, a bunch of thyme, garlic, onion, bay leaf, and the garlic cloves.
Over low to medium heat, reduce the wine for an hour, stirring occasionally. At the end of the hour, you will have no more than 1/2 cup of wine left and it will be thick and syrupy.
Strain it in a coffee filter to remove all the herbs and other flavorings, leaving only liquid.
Meanwhile, cook the salmon. We did it on the grill, but you could also do it in the oven or even pan fry it. 5-10 minutes with skin side down, then carefully flipped for another 1 to 2 minutes.
When the salmon is ready, take the wine off the heat, and whisk butter into sauce, one slice at a time. Your sauce will then be glossy and silky and ready to serve atop the salmon.
