Ingredients:


4 fillets salmon steaks

-----court bouillon-----

6 1/2 cups water

1 large carrot -- cut in 1 inch pieces

1 1/2 cups white wine

1 medium onion -- sliced or chopped

2 medium lemon slices -- up to 3

1 tablespoon parsley -- snipped

1/8 teaspoon peppercorns

1 piece bay leaf

-----almandine butter-----

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 cup almonds -- sliced

5 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon cayenne
 

Preparation / Directions:


Combine the ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about 1/3. Strain the liquid through cheese cloth. Use 1-2 cups for steaming the steaks, about 9-10 minutes. The rest of the court bouillon may be saved by freezing. In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add almonds. Cook and stir over medium heat until almonds are light brown, about 4 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons of butter, the lemon juice and a dash of cayenne pepper. Stir until the butter melts and then pour over the steamed salmon steaks. Serve with a fresh fruit salad, au gratin potatoes, broccoli spears and fresh Italian bread.
