Instructions
Saute shallots and shiitakes in 3 T of the butter over medium-high heat until they release their liquid, it evaporates, and they are golden and slightly crisp. Stir in the cream, Scotch, parsley, and a bit of salt and pepper and simmer gently to reduce while you prepare the salmon.
Remove any pin bones from the salmon. Rub coriander, salt and pepper gently into the salmon. Melt the remaining butter.
Remove from heat and add the honey and lemon juice to the butter.
Brush this mixture over the salmon.
Place the salmon on a foil-lined broiler pan, skin side down, and broil just until done, without turning over, about 6-8 minutes.
Spoon the sauce over fillets.
Serve this with a very simple side dish, sugar snap peas are nice, to let the salmon take center stage. And you'll need a good bread for mopping up the sauce, because people won't want to leave a drop on their plates.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine
"Our Indian Wells Chardonnay delivers an appealing tropical fruit character typical of warm sites like the Wahluke Slope. I like this Chardonnay's ripe pineapple and butterscotch flavors and rich, creamy texture. Try it with Scallops, scampi or pasta with rich sauces." - Bob Bertheau
