Braised Ivory King Salmon with Cilantro

Ingredients

• 5 Vital Choice ivory king salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons Vital Choice extra virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
• 2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
• 3/4 cup dry white wine
• Water
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon fine-chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a large nonstick (or well-seasoned cast iron) frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fillets until just browned on one side; flip them, and brown the other side.
2. Remove the salmon from the pan. In the same pan, cook the onions, carrots and garlic over medium-high heat 7 minutes until soft and slightly golden. Add the wine and 3/4 cup water to the pan and use a wooden spoon to loosen any bits from the bottom of the pan.
3. Return the salmon to the pan, cover, and cook 4 to 6 minutes, until just done.
4. Remove the salmon from the pan, leaving the liquid and vegetables in the pan. Taste the sauce and, if necessary, boil for a few minutes to reduce it to intensify its flavor.
5. Add the cilantro and parsley; swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Arrange the vegetables over the salmon and spoon the sauce over all.
