Recipe - Fillet Of Salmon With Anchovies And Tomatoes

1 pound Salmon, fillets, trimmed,
skin removed, cut into
2 ounce pieces on a
diagonal
Flour, all purpose
One fourth cup Butter, clarified **
One fourth cup Wine, white, dry
One half cup Cream, whipping
3 Anchovy, fillets, chopped
One half md Tomato, ripe, cored,
seeded, peeled, minced
3 tablespoon Butter, unsalted, chilled
cut into pieces
2 tablespoon Chives, fresh, chopped
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
4 small Broccoli, florets,
(garnish)

** See recipe for Clarified Butter.

Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Dip 1 side of each piece in
flour, shaking off any excess.

Heat the clarified butter in a large skillet over mediumhigh
heat. Working in batches if necessary, saute salmon floured side
down, shaking the skillet occasionally to break the fish loose of the
bottom, until golden ( 1 One half to 2 minutes.)

Carefully turn salmon and brown the second side.

Transfer to warm serving plates, blotting up any excess fat from
the fish. Keep warm.

Pour off butter from the skillet and add wine, scraping up any
browned bits.

Add cream, anchovies and tomato and boil until very lightly
thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Lower heat and swirl in butter, 1 or 2 pieces at a time.

Add chives and adjust seasonings to taste.

Pour sauce over the fish, and garnish with broccoli florets, and
serve.
