Chez Piggys Salmon with Citrus Glaze
submitted by: Paulette Kenyon

This recipe is from "The Chez Piggy Cookbook" by Victoria Newbury, from the restaurant that carried that clever name. This book retails for $24.95, and although it has recipes of all types, I was most impressed with the meat recipes and this delicious easy recipe for Salmon.

(This glaze is a perfect match for the taste and texture of pan-fried salmon and can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.)

2 Tbsp. orange zest
1 Tbsp. lime zest
1-1/4 C dry white wine
3/4 C orange juice
1/4 C lime juice
1/4 C lemon juice
1/4 C brown sugar
1-1 inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
6 salmon fillets (each 6 oz.), grilled or pan-fried

Blanch zest in boiling water, then remove from water and set aside. To make the citrus glaze, place remaining ingredients, except salmon, in a small saucepan, and cook over medium heat until reduced to one-third. Strain through a fine sieve. If salmon is pan-fried, remove it from pan. Pour off excess oil, and deglaze pan with citrus glaze. Pour glaze over salmon, and garnish with zest.

Serves 6.

Tip: To cook salmon, rub both sides of the fillets with olive oil, then grill or pan-fry.
