Bacon Wrapped Salmon Poached in Wine Sauce
Olive Oil
6 rosemary sprigs, divided
2 Salmon fillets, rectangular or square shaped
4 thick sliced lean bacon
1/2 small lemon
3/4 to 1 C. Sauvignon Blanc
Salt and pepper
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Wrap each fillet evenly with 2 slices bacon (similar to wrapping a square package with ribbon), overlapping edges and weave a rosemary sprig through bacon on one side. Pour oil into a skillet over medium high heat, add 4 rosemary sprigs and cook for 1 or 2 minutes. Remove rosemary, set aside. Place bacon wrapped salmon into the skillet with the rosemary oil. Cook salmon, rosemary sides down, turning once, until bacon is lightly crisp and salmon is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer salmon to a heated platter. Add wine to skillet to deglaze and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Using half of a small lemon, squeeze juice over salmon. Just before serving, drizzle wine sauce over the bacon wrapped salmon. Garnish serving plate with small wedges of lemon and the rosemary sprigs cooked in oil.
