Alan Sternweiler serves these fillets on a bed of mashed potatoes at
Harvest restaurant.

1. Combine wine, shallots, thyme, sugar and peppercorns in nonreactive
bowl. Pour over salmon fillets in a flat, covered dish or zipseal plastic
bag. Refrigerate, turning several times, 30 minutes to 1 hour. 2. Heat oven
to 350 degrees. Remove fillets from marinade, pat dry. Melt butter in a
large skillet over high heat. Add fillets and sear, about 30 seconds per
side, turning once. Transfer to buttered baking dish big enough to hold
fillets in one layer. Bake until just cooked through, about 4 minutes.
Variations: Deglaze skillet with a fresh batch of marinade. Strain. Return
to pan and boil until reduced to 1/3 of its volume. Drizzle over fillets
before serving.
