Poached Salmon With a Mustard-Dill Sauce image

Here is a light delicious salmon recipe, I made this dish last night as hot salmon and sauce. But it is a very versatile dish and in summer can be served chilled, both the salmon and the sauce. If chilling the salmon, I recommend leaving the fish in the poaching liquid, in the fridge for a few hours, to really allow the flavours to infuse the salmon. I served mine with wild rice and minted vegetables, but it goes well over linguine with a green salad on the side.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste.

I thought the sauce was a bit too heavy. Next time I'll try making it with less butter.

This poached salmon with mustard-dill sauce was a delightful dish! The salmon was cooked perfectly, tender and flaky, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.
