Grilled Salmon with Mustard-Wine Sauce

Prep / Total : 30 minutes ...Serves  6

The Dijon and dry white wine give this sauce a vibrant flavor that pairs well with the richness of grilled salmon.

1 .....................teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 ..................teaspoon salt
1 .....................teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 
2 .....................tablespoons olive oil 
2 .....................tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 .....................salmon fillets (6 oz. each) 
2 .....................tablespoons butter
1 .....................tablespoon flour 
1/2 ..................teaspoon paprika
3/4 ..................cup milk
2 .....................tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 ..................cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio 
1 .....................teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 .....................teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves

1.              Prepare a grill for high heat (450° to 550°; you can hold your hand 5 in. above cooking grate only 2 to 4 seconds). In a small bowl, combine garlic, salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, the oil, and lemon juice. Brush mixture over salmon, then cook, turning once, until done the way you like, about 6 minutes total for medium.
2.             In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook until starting to brown. Whisk in remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper, the paprika, milk, mustard, wine, and 3 tbsp. water. Cook until simmering, then spoon over salmon and sprinkle with herbs.
