Salmon in Oyster Sauce
Need Head to the store and pick up oyster sauce, cornstarch, green onions, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the cornstarch you could follow this main course with the Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding as a dessert.
Instructions
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and brown sugar, and cook until garlic is lightly browned. Stir in green onions, and cook until tender.
Mix in oyster sauce and water.
Place salmon fillets into skillet, and reduce heat to medium low. Spoon sauce mixture over fillets. Cook 10 to 15 minutes, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
Remove fish from skillet, and set aside.
Mix cornstarch and warm water into the remaining sauce mixture. Stir until thickened to desired consistency.
Pour over salmon to serve.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. 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 Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.

Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay
The 2014 Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, is typical for the variety with aromas of apples, white peaches and citrus. With longer time in the glass nuanced aromas of nutmeg, slight toast and vanilla come to play along with suggestion of pineapple and ripe Meyer lemons. The mouth feel is crisp and restrained with clear minerality and purity of fruit. Rich, elegant and beautifully balanced.
