Vanilla-Scented Poached Salmon with Vanilla-Champagne Glaze

Ingredients

Glaze

Salmon

  • 4 (6 oz.-8 oz.) salmon fillets, rinsed and patted dry
  • 32 fl. oz. half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon Nielsen-Massey Organic Fairtrade Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 dried bay leaves

Directions

In a small saucepan, add champagne, sugar, vanilla extract, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Heat over medium-high heat, stir and cook until glaze boils, about 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until glaze reduces and slightly thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a large skillet over low heat, add half-and-half, vanilla extract and bay leaves, stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, add salmon fillets, cover and poach until done, about 8-10 minutes.

Preheat broiler on high-heat; place poached fish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil, lightly coat with cooking spray. Generously brush filets with glaze and broil on high-heat for 2-3 minutes. Serve with grilled asparagus.
