Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 lb Salmon fillets
2 tb Bacon drippings
6 tb Butter or margarine
1 Garlic clove
-- crushed and minced
1/2 ts Oregano leaves
1/2 ts Thyme leaves
1 t Whole tarragon
2 tb Lemon juice
1/2 c Dry Marsala wine

Trim fillets to 1-1/2" pieces-uniform thickness. In
frying pan, slowly cook 1-2 strips of bacon, or enough
to yield 2 tablespoons drippings. Remove bacon and use
for another dish. Saute the salmon in the bacon
drippings over medium heat, turning gently. Remove to
a baking dish and keep warm. Deglaze pan with a little
of the wine and scrape the residue from the pan over
the fish. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the
butter and add the garlic and spices. Cook, stirring
over medium low heat, for 2-3 minutes to extract the
flavors. Remove from heat and add the wine and lemon
juice. Pour this sauce over the fish. Bake at 400
degrees F. for 10 minutes. Serve over rice, spooning
pan juices over all. Garnish with lemon wedges and
finely chopped parsley.

Variation: Substitute dry white wine for the Marsala
for a lighter, less rich dish.
