Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the salmon fillet on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Season generously with sea salt. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, approximately 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. (15 minutes)

04

Step

While the salmon is baking, prepare the white wine sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a smooth roux. (1 minute)

06

Step

Gradually stir in the white wine, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Simmer gently until the liquid is reduced by half, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will concentrate the flavors and create a velvety texture. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Stir in the chopped fresh chives and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (1 minute)

09

Step

Once the salmon is cooked, carefully break it into large, succulent chunks. Serve immediately, generously drizzled with the white wine sauce and garnished with extra chives.

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the white wine sauce at the end.
To prevent the salmon from drying out, you can baste it with a little melted butter halfway through the cooking process.
Serve with a side of roasted asparagus or steamed green beans for a complete and balanced meal.
If you don't have fresh chives, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried chives, but fresh is always preferred for its vibrant flavor.
