Ingredients
4 salmon filets
1 orange, juiced and zested
1 lemon, juiced and zested
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup finely chopped shallot
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 sticks butter, cut into pieces
Here’s how to make it:
To make the orange butter sauce, put the zest, juice, wine and shallots into a saucepot. Over low heat, cook until shallots are soft and liquid reduces slightly, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Turn the heat off and slowly start whisking in the butter, a piece at a time, until melted and thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Cook the fish about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Spoon the orange butter sauce over the fish and garnish with chopped chives and more zest, if desired.
