Steps:

• Broil 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting frequently with remaining honey mixture.

VERMOUTH SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Turn up edges of 1 sheet of foil so juices will not run out. Place slamon in the center of foil. Sprinkle with salt, lemon pepper and garlic powder. Place dill and lemon slices on top of salmon. Pour vermouth evenly over fish.
• Cover fish with second sheet of foil. Crimp edges of foil together to seal packet, leaving head space for heat circulation. Place packet on baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until salmon flakes easily when tested with fork.

GRILLED SALMON WITH CURLY KALE & A NOILLY PRAT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high. Make the sauce: pour the stock, cream and Noilly. Put into a medium-sized saucepan and boil rapidly until reduced by three-quarters. Turn off heat and keep warm.
• Brush the salmon on all sides with half the melted butter and season. Place on a lightly buttered baking tray and grill for 8 minutes until just cooked through.
• While the salmon is cooking, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the kale and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove, drain well and return to the pan, then add the remaining melted butter and toss. Cover pan to keep warm.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer, then whisk in the chilled butter one piece at a time. Stir in the thyme and season to taste.
• To serve, divide the kale between 4 warmed plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Spoon some of the sauce over the fish and the rest around the kale. Serve with steamed new potatoes and any remaining sauce in a small jug.

SALMON WITH TARRAGON-LEEK SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add leeks and sauté until soft and transparent, about 15 minutes. Add vermouth and boil over high heat until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 5 minutes. Add cream and boil until thickened to sauce consistency, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup parsley and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, cover to keep warm.
• Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Dust salmon lightly with flour. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in each of 2 non-stick skillets over medium-high heat. Add 4 salmon fillets to each skillet and cook until opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer salmon to plates. Spoon sauce over salmon. Sprinkle with additional parsley and serve.
