Poached Salmon With Dill-Mustard Sauce
- Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon organic canola mayonnaise (such as Spectrum)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons country-style Dijon mustard
- Salmon:
- 3 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups thinly sliced onion
- 2 dill sprigs
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on (about 1 inch thick)
- Dill sprigs (optional)
- Lemon wedges (optional)
- To prepare sauce, combine the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well. Cover and chill 2 hours.
- To prepare salmon, heat white wine, 2 cups water, fresh lemon juice, sliced onion, and 2 dill sprigs in a large skillet to 150u0b0. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add fish to wine mixture; cook at 150u0b0 for 12 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Transfer to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Serve with sauce. Garnish with dill sprigs and lemon wedges, if desired.
- Wine note: Poached salmon is naturally rich and meaty. In this dish, it gets a kick from the delicious pungency of dill and mustard. A great wine companion needs to be able to counterbalance all three. For its precise, clean flavors and rush of citrus, I love the King Estate Domaine Pinot Gris from Oregon. The 2007 is about $ -Karen MacNeil
