Fiance is in a special place right now. He was born and raised in Baltimore, so this game is a BIG. DEAL. We are having people over (I made a dip, crock pot meatballs, and this amazing bread that I will be sharing here soon!) and he is legitimately concerned that people are going to impede on his game watching. He actually set up a "back up" room downstairs in case he feels the noise level upstairs is unacceptable.
I should get serious points for that, right? He moved a t.v. and everything. Plus, there's already taxidermy on the walls down there (don't get me started), so I should get even more points. I shall use these points...toward Target time.
ANYWAY, this isn't exactly game day food, but this is definitely easy weeknight dinner food.
This sauce is SO GOOD. It's full of flavor and about 50 calories per serving. You can either grill your salmon or do it in a pan - tastes great either way.
Here's what you need (from How Sweet Eats)...
1 lb salmon filet
salt
pepper
olive oil
1/2 tbsp butter
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
1 shallot, diced
1/4 cup white wine*
3/4 cup low fat evaporated milk
1 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
*Use a dry white wine. I actually use more than 1/4 cup because I like a thinner sauce, but if you're looking for a thicker, creamier sauce, stick with 1/4 cup.
Here's what you do...
1. . In a pot, add butter, garlic, shallot and sage. Let saute for about 3-5 minutes.
2. Add your wine. Allow it to bubble and reduce a bit, another 4-5 minutes.
3. Add milk and mustard. Let simmer on low heat while you cook the salmon. You can even remove from the heat and set aside to allow it to thicken.
4. Season your salmon with salt and pepper. Grill or cook in the pan. If cooking in a pan, add olive oil and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side. Same with the grill, but closer to 4-5 minutes on each side.
5. Pour sauce over salmon and enjoy!
This has become a staple for us. The sauce is SO easy to make. I usually make it on Sunday so we have it throughout the week.
Happy Game Day!!! I'm ready for a great game and a Ravens win :)
