Roasted Salmon with White Wine Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillet, skin removed
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place the salmon fillet on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt.

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour, cooking for 1 minute, then stir in the wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper. Break the salmon into large chunks, and serve topped with the sauce.
