Salmon Scampi with Wine

Directions

Trim fillets to 1½ inch pieces-uniform thickness.

In frying pan, slowly cook 1 to 2 strips of bacon, or enough to yield 2 tablespoons drippings.

Remove bacon and use for another dish.

Sauté 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 to 3 minutes to extract the flavors.

Remove from heat and add the wine and lemon juice.

Pour this sauce over the fish. Bake at 400℉ (200℃). for 10 minutes. Serve over rice, spooning pan juices over all.

Garnish with lemon wedges and finely chopped parsley.
