Salmon Scampi With Wine

Ingredients

425 gr salmon fillets
2 bacon drippings
85 gr butter
1 garlic clove
1 gr oregano leaves
1 gr thyme leaves
2 gr tarragon
30 ml lemon juice
120 ml dry marsala wine

Instructions

Trim fillets to 1- half inch pieces-uniform thickness. In frying pan, slowly cook 1-2 strips of bacon, or enough to yield 2 tablespoons drippings. Remove bacon and use for another dish. Saute the salmon in the bacon drippings over medium heat, turning gently. Remove to a baking dish and keep warm. Deglaze pan with a little of the wine and scrape the residue from the pan over the fish. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the garlic and spices. Cook, stirring over medium low heat, for 2-3 minutes to extract the flavors. Remove from heat and add the wine and lemon juice. Pour this sauce over the fish. Bake at 200ÂșC . for 10 minutes. Serve over rice, spooning pan juices over all. Garnish with lemon wedges and finely chopped parsley. Variation: Substitute dry white wine for the Marsala for a lighter, less rich dish.
