Broiled Salmon with Lemon Vodka Cream Sauce

This is a decedent dish that is very easy to make.  It great for a dinner party or special occasion dinner.

Preheat oven to broil.  Generously brush four salmon fillets (about 1-1 1/2 pounds) with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place on a baking sheet.  Place in oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes or salmon is flaky and cooked through.

While salmon is cooking, in a small skillet, over medium-high heat:

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

8 large sage leaves

Cook leaves for about 4 minutes or until crisp.  Remove leaves to paper towels and let cool.  Using the same skillet, add:

1/2 cup vodka

Bring to a boil and reduce by half.  Once liquid is reduced, add:

1 cup heavy cream

zest and juice from 1 lemon

Continue to boil for about 3 minutes then reduce heat to low, stirring frequently.  Once salmon is cooked, remove from oven and top with vodka cream sauce along with fried sage leaves.

Serves 4
