Pan-Glazed Salmon with Oyster Sauce and Basil
One of Marcia Kiesel's favorite condiments, oyster sauce, gets its rich, briny flavor and glossy deep-brown hue from reduced oyster broth. Here she uses it as a sweet-spicy glaze for seared salmon. Serve an unoaked white with anything you can squeeze a lemon or lime on (see our 7 Rules for Perfect Pairing).
