Ingredients

  • 5 Vital Choice ivory king salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons Vital Choice extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • Water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fine-chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large nonstick (or well-seasoned cast iron) frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fillets until just browned on one side; flip them, and brown the other side.
  2. Remove the salmon from the pan. In the same pan, cook the onions, carrots and garlic over medium-high heat 7 minutes until soft and slightly golden. Add the wine and 3/4 cup water to the pan and use a wooden spoon to loosen any bits from the bottom of the pan.
  3. Return the salmon to the pan, cover, and cook 4 to 6 minutes, until just done.
  4. Remove the salmon from the pan, leaving the liquid and vegetables in the pan. Taste the sauce and, if necessary, boil for a few minutes to reduce it to intensify its flavor.
  5. Add the cilantro and parsley; swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Arrange the vegetables over the salmon and spoon the sauce over all.
