Salmon on a Bed of Leeks

Number of Servings: 
2
Ingredients: 
1 bunch leeks (3 to 4)
2 teaspoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup dry white wine or vermouth
2 6-8-ounce salmon fillets
2 tablespoons grated Gruyere cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions: 

Trim green tops and root ends from leeks; slit vertically into quarters, leaving 1/3 inch intact at root end. Separate sections and wash under cold running water; drain well.

In 10-inch saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add leeks and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until leeks are wilted. Stir in wine, arrange salmon on leeks, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 5 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over salmon, cover and cook another 3 to 5 minutes or until salmon is opaque around edges and firm, and cheese is melted.

Transfer to warm dinner plate with broad spatula and serve immediately.
