"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 Salmon fillets, 6 ounces each
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons minced shallots, or green onions
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 lemon, juice and zest
1 tablespoon heavy cream
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces

Directions:
Lemon Citrus Beurre Blanc Sauce:

Heat a small skillet over medium heat.
Combine dry white wine, white wine vinegar, shallots, salt and pepper.
Simmer uncovered until cooked down by three-quarters.
Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest.
Stir in the heavy cream and remove pan from heat.
Whisking constantly, add one piece of butter at a time until the sauce is creamy and whitened.
The real trick to making a perfect sauce is to whisk in the butter without letting it melt completely.

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.
Pat dry the fish with a paper towel and sprinkle with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
When the coals are ready, spread them out to cover an area slightly larger than the surface area required for cooking the fish. Put the grill rack in place and let it preheat to prevent the fish from sticking.
Place the fish on the rack directly over the coals.
Cook 8 to 10 minutes for each inch of thickness, turning the fish halfway through.
Transfer to warmed individual plates and put a generous spoonful of the lemon citrus beurre blanc sauce on top.

Serve immediately.

Personal Notes:
This is our absolute favorite way to prepare Salmon. It would work on any firm fish as well. Salmon is easily overpowered when strong flavors, like Teriyaki, are used.
