Roasted Salmon with White Wine Sauce
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set the salmon fillet on a rimmed baking sheet and season it with salt.

  2. 2

    Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then add the wine. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper. Break the salmon into large chunks and serve with the sauce on top.
