                           FILLET OF SALMON WITH A WINE SAUCE
                            (I used my "Wine of the Month"  -- Owen's Own)

Ingredients:
2 cups Owen's Own
2 Tbls balsamic vinegar
1 shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tomato, chopped
1 cup chicken stock
3 Tbls butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1-1/2 lbs salmon fillet, cut in 4 pieces and
    brushed with olive oil and seasoned with
    salt and pepper

In a saucepan combine wine, vinegar, shallot, garlic and tomato. Reduce over medium heat to half the amount. Add chicken stock and reduce by half again. Whisk in the butter.

Heat a non-stick sauté pan over high heat. Add salmon and sear until nicely brown. Finish cooking on reverse side over medium heat. To serve, place on plates and pour warm wine sauce over the salmon.

Serve with Owen's Own OR for Summer, make my Sangria using Owen's Own!
