How to Make Salmon Steaks With Wine Sauce

  1. If frozen, thaw salmon steaks completely.
  2. Preheat a 6 1/2-inch microwave-safe browning dish on high power for 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil to the hot dish and swirl to coat.
  4. Place salmon steaks in the prepared dish.
  5. Microwave, covered, on high power for 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the salmon steaks and microwave, covered, on 50% power for 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  7. While salmon cooks, prepare the wine sauce: In a 4-cup microwave-safe measure, microwave 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine uncovered on high power for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until melted.
  8. Whisk in 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
  9. Stir in 1/2 cup light cream.
  10. Microwave, uncovered, on high power for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened and bubbly, stirring every minute.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot cream mixture and 1 large egg yolk.
  12. Return the mixture to the 4-cup measure.
  13. Microwave uncovered on 50% power for 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
  14. Stir in 1/4 cup dry white wine.
  15. Transfer the cooked salmon steaks to a serving platter.
  16. Spoon the wine sauce generously over the salmon.
  17. Garnish with halved seedless green grapes, if desired.
