1 (2-pound) salmon fillet, cut into 6 (5 1/3-ounce) fillets
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
3 shallots, peeled and minced
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup half and half
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Sear salmon in melted butter over medium-high heat on each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and keep warm. Turn heat to low and sauté garlic with shallots for about 5 minutes. Add rest of ingredients to pan and cook on medium heat until sauce is reduced by half. Taste for seasoning, adding more pepper and salt as needed. To serve, reheat fish gently in sauce until it flakes. The sauce is a nice green color. Spoon around fish on plates.

Note: The fish can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead, then reheated, uncovered, over low heat for 10 minutes.
