Semi-cooked Salmon Steaks with Wild Rice

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon steaks
• 1 cup wild rice
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Rinse the wild rice under cold water and add it to a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and let it simmer for around 35-40 minutes, or until tender. Once it’s cooked, remove from heat and let it rest.
3. Season your salmon steaks with salt and pepper.
4. In a skillet, heat up the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for around 1 minute, until fragrant.
5. Add the salmon steaks to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
6. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
7. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, basting the salmon steaks with it. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the salmon is still slightly pink in the center.
8. Serve the salmon steaks with a side of wild rice.

Verdict:

This semi-cooked salmon steak with wild rice recipe is the perfect combination of tender and juicy salmon with a nutty and flavorful wild rice. The seasoning is spot-on, with just the right amount of salt and pepper, and the white wine and butter give it an added richness that is irresistibly good.
