4 6-ounce salmon fillets

1/2 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup chopped shallots (about 6)

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces

Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange salmon on baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake until just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, boil next 5 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over high heat until mixture is reduced to generous 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes.
