490. BROILED SALMON with BACON RASPBERRY BEURRE BLANC

Serves 2

2 - 8 oz. fresh Salmon Fillets
6 strips maple-flavored bacon (reserve 2 strips and cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons hazelnut syrup
1 tablespoon muscat wine
1/3 cup raspberry jam
1/4 cup hazelnuts (filberts), chopped

Place salmon fillets on an oven broiler pan and broil for 3 minutes, turn and place 2 strips of bacon on each fillet. Broil an additional 3-4 minutes or until bacon is soft-cooked. Remove, set aside, keep warm. In a non-stick skillet, over medium heat, sauté reserved bacon pieces until soft-cooked, drain and set aside. Bacon Raspberry Beurre Blanc: In the same skillet, over medium heat, melt butter, add hazelnut syrup, muscat wine and raspberry jam. Cook mixture several minutes until reduced and soft glaze is formed. Stir frequently to avoid sticking to skillet. Serve each salmon fillet by placing half of the bacon raspberry beurre blanc on each plate. Place the salmon fillet on the sauce and garnish with chopped hazelnuts.
