Directions:
1. Mix curry powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix.
2. Arrange salmon fillets in a baking dish and season on both sides with the curry mixture. Drizzle 1 T of the olive oil over both sides. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 mins.
3. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Place the shallots and white wine in a heavy saucepan, bring to boil over high heat, and let boil until wine is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in the heavy cream and let boil until reduced by half. Reduce heat to medium and gradually whisk in butter. Do not let the sauce boil once the butter is added or it may curdle. Remove pan from heat. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Lightly brush salmon with remaining T of olive oil. Grill salmon 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium.
5. Transfer fish to a platter and spoon shallot cream sauce over it. Sprinkle with chives or green onions.
