Step by Step Method

Step 1

Dredge fillets in flour, to coat both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat butter and oil until hot. Brown fillets slightly on one side. Add salt and pepper.

Step 3

Turn fillets over and add garlic, shallot, mustard and brown sugar. Cook for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add vinegar. Fillet should be browned on second side now. With fillets still in pan, deglaze pan with whiskey. Add orange juice. Swirl pan to mix ingredients.

Step 5

Reduce sauce until it begins to thicken. Add cream and cook until heated.

Step 6

Place fillets on plates and spoon some sauce over each.

Step 7

Garnish with grated orange zest or chopped green onions, if desired.

What a very tasty recipe! I had a huge thick piece of salmon, and had to cook it with the skin on, so I browned the "good" side first and did the rest of the cooking with skin side down. I used a bit more brown sugar...we like things sweet...and I loved how the cream thickened everything up for a lovely sauce. This is a unique recipe, and I will make it again! Thanks, Mikekey, we enjoyed this very much.

What a delicious salmon dish...we loved the sauce and the salmon just melted in your mouth...I didn't have raspberry vinegar so I used white...I should have used red because that would have giving the sauce a red tint...made for Seaside Brasserie 2020...

This was wonderful! I used rice flour for dredging and followed the recipe to the letter otherwise. Amazing flavours! Thanks for sharing! Will make this again. Made for Seaside Brasserie

Excellent salmon recipe! The sauce is so flavorful and plentiful, which I love. I served this over brown rice which was perfect for soaking up that yummy sauce. I doubled the mustard and brown sugar. I used red wine vinegar because I didn't have the other variety on hand. I also didn't have heavy cream, so I used half and half. It still turned out great! A new salmon favorite. Thank you!

Delicious! I had to use skin on, but the flavor was great. The recipe makes lots of sauce, so we served with rice that we could put sauce over. I would have loved to have some crusty bread to soak up the sauce.....maybe next time. Thanks for sharing!

We thoroughly enjoyed your salmon recipe Mikekey! Love the sauce. I used wild sockeye, added extra garlic, doubled the brown sugar and mustard, and replaced Vidalia onion for the shallots (didn't have any) and realized at the last minute that I didn't have any heavy cream either, so I used some half-and-half instead. Though I substituted a couple of ingredients, it was still superb. Company worthy. Thank you Mikekey for sharing! Update: Made this again on July, 2020 and didn't substitute any ingredients and boy was it still good and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks again, Mikekey..
