Notes

Make this recipe gluten-free, by dredging the salmon in a 1:1 GF flour.
If you don't want to cook with wine, you can substitute it for extra chicken stock.
This recipe can also be made with chicken breasts or thighs. The recipe will remain the same, but the cooking time will need to be increased a little to ensure that it is fully cooked through.
