Honey Wine Glazed Salmon

Honey Wine Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic, finely minced
• 1/2 cup Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet
• 2 tablespoons aged Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• Salt, to taste

Salmon Preparation Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 (4 - 6 ounce) Salmon
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for garnish

Directions

In a small saucepan over medium high heat, add 1 tbsp of oil and cook garlic until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove pan from heat and add wine, honey and Worcestershire and stir to combine. Allow mixture to reduce by 1/2, approximately 3 minutes, before adding cracked pepper and fresh rosemary. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter. Season the glaze to taste with the salt. Set aside to thicken and cool slightly.

Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat for one minute. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Carefully check for doneness by watching for signs that salmon is beginning to flake. Brush salmon with wine glaze, making sure all sides are evenly coated. Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Enjoy with a glass of the Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet wine.
