SALMON FILLETS WITH SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Core and remove the seeds from the red peppers. Cut them into 1/4-inch cubes or strips.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the salmon steaks in one layer.
• Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steaks in the pan and cook over high heat until they are lightly browned, about a minute and a half on each side. The time will vary, depending on the thickness of the fish and the doneness desired.
• Transfer the steaks to a warm platter. Leave the cooking butter in the skillet. Add the shallots and the red peppers. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the wine, reduce by half, add the cream and cook, stirring over medium high heat until reduced again by half. Check the seasoning.
• Add the salmon steaks, the chopped dill and any juices that have accumulated around the steaks, and bring to a simmer. Cook one minute. Do not overcook. Serve immediately with the dill for decoration.

ROASTED SALMON WITH PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Use a mortar and pestle (I use a coffee grinder) to grind the ppercorns together with the salt. Or you can use a rolling pin or meat mallet to crush the peppercorns.
• Press peppercorn mixture onto one side of each salmon fillet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Place several of the salmon fillets, peppercorn side down, into the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Use a spatula to turn the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Place the fillets into a baking dish. Repeat until all the fillets have been sauteed. You may need to add more oil to the pan.
• Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be medium rare in the center.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes and oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter until just melted. Pour the sauce over the fillets and serve.
