Red wine sauce:
2 shallots or spring onions, sliced
1 tsp olive oil
½ cup chicken or vegetable stock from ¼cube
½ cup red wine (dry)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3 tbs butter

500g salmon, fillet or steak
½ tbs ground black pepper
¼ tsp sea salt
1 tbs olive oil

Preparation

1 Sauté shallots in olive oil till transparent. Be careful not to burn them. 2 Add stock and red wine; allow the mixture to reach a strong boil. 3 Reduce the sauce down by about half by allowing it to boil awhile. 4 Bring the heat down to medium or medium low. Pour in balsamic vinegar and add Dijon mustard. Continue cooking until the sauce has reached the level of thickness you prefer. 5 Turn off the heat and add butter and thyme leaves. 6 Season the salmon steaks with pepper and salt and fry them in olive oil in a non-stick pan for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through. 7 Serve immediately with the sauce and a side dish of your choice (couscous, fried cherry tomatoes etc.).
