Creamy Garlic Salmon and Salmon with Great Frogs Rosé

The versatility of Great Frogs handcrafted wine varietals are unlimited. Pan seared fresh salmon is finished with a creamy garlic sauce. The addition of fresh shrimp and spinach complete this dish, with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan. Great Frogs Rosé is a lovely companion to salmon, with no exception here. Serve with warm crusty bread from your local baker, rice or pasta.

Enjoy!

Method

  • Remove the salmon from the skillet , remove skin by carefully sliding spatula just above the skin. Reduce heat to med- low, remove some of the excess oil, leaving a bit to sauté onion and garlic.

  • Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.

  • Stir in the fresh garlic and red crushed pepper, cook for 20 seconds.

  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the white wine and reduce by half. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

  • Add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper.

  • Place the salmon back in the skillet along with the shrimp and spinach.

  • Cover and simmer for 7-10 minutes or until the shrimp and salmon are completely cooked, and the sauce is thickened.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes: My suggestion is warm crusty bread and a green salad. The meal is plenty rich without pasta or rice
