Salmon with Mornay Sauce
You can never have too many main course recipes, so give Salmon with Mornay Sauce From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 25 minutes.
Instructions
Sprinkle salmon with 1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper. In a large skillet, cook salmon in 2 tablespoons butter for 4-6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt remaining butter. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, cayenne and remaining lemon-pepper until blended. Gradually add milk and cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from the heat; stir in cheese until melted.
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 aroma is intense with many nuanced layers that marry classic California Chardonnay characteristics with a kiss of old world style. Right off the top, beautiful Chardonnay varietal notes commingle with subtle toast, understated butter cream and crisp green apple. During the ageing process, weekly lees stirring in the barrel left the palate rich and full without being flabby as the signature Manchester acidity leaves a clean and lingering finish. The French Oak barrels bestow a tinge of brown sugar that is nuanced and inviting without being overbearing. This allows for the showcasing of the superb fruit that comes from this one-of-a-kind vineyard. Cheers!
