Scotch salmon

 

Dust a 6-7 ounce salmon filet lightly in flour. In a pan, heat 2 Tbs. clarified butter and brown slightly on one side.

Add salt and white pepper to taste and turn fillet over.

Add 1/2 tsp. minced garlic, 1/2 tsp. minced shallot, 1/4 tsp. Dijon mustard and 1/4 tsp. brown sugar.

After these cook for a few seconds, add 1 Tablespoon raspberry vinegar.

With the fillet still in the pan, deglaze it with a "round" of Scotch about 1/4 c. Add 1/4 c. orange juice.

Move pan in a circular motion to blend ingredients.

Reduce sauce til it begins to thicken. Finish with 1/4 c. heavy cream and a round of Drambuie about 3 Tablespoons.

Garnish with creme fraiche and candied orange zest.
