Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped shallot (2 oz)
1/2 cup merlot or other dry red wine
1 cup canned beef broth
1 tsp cornstarch
4 (5-oz) skinned center-cut pieces salmon fillet (about 1 1/2 inches thick at thickest part)
1 tsp olive oil
accompaniment: red cabbage and onions

Directions:

Make sauce: Bring sugar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture is a golden caramel, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully add vinegar, then add shallot and swirl pan over low heat until caramel is dissolved, about 1 minute.
Stir in wine and boil until reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Add beef broth and boil until reduced to about 1 cup, about 8 minutes. Whisk together cornstarch and remaining 2 tablespoons water, then whisk into sauce and boil, whisking, 1 minute. Season sauce with salt and pepper and keep warm, covered.
Cook salmon: Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté salmon, skinned side up, 3 minutes. Turn over and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
Serve salmon on top of red cabbage and onions with sauce spooned over.
