Northwest Salmon with Hazelnuts

(serves sauce for four steaks)
Preparation time: 15 minutes
4 salmon steaks
¼ cup hazelnuts, broken
3 juniper berries, crushed
½ cup brandy
½ cup cream


Sauté salmon steak. Remove from pan. Add hazelnuts and juniper berries, then deglaze with brandy. When mixture is reduced and alcohol is gone, add cream. Cook until thickened. Salt to taste. 
Pour over warm salmon steak and enjoy.
NOTE: You can add broken Hazelnuts to any quick sauce to 
achieve a light nutty flavor. It must be a quick sauce to maintain the 
crunch.
