Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
¾ teaspoon dried dill weed
¾ teaspoon lemon pepper
10 tablespoons butter, divided
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
5 tablespoons white wine, divided
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and white pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place salmon in a shallow dish, and rub with 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Season with dill weed and lemon pepper. Cover, and allow to stand 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and saute shallot 2 minutes, until tender. Mix in remaining lemon juice, vinegar, and 1/4 cup wine. Simmer until reduced by at least 1/2. Stir in cream and milk. Season with dill, parsley, thyme, salt, and white pepper. Cook and stir until thickened. Whisk in 1/4 cup butter. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place salmon in the skillet, skin side up, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until seared. Set salmon aside. Deglaze the skillet with remaining 1 tablespoon wine, then mix in the cream sauce. Return salmon to the skillet, and cook 8 minutes in the sauce, or until easily flaked with a fork. Serve with the sauce.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and dill to the sauce and it was much better. Overall, it was a good recipe but it could use a little more flavor.

This recipe was easy to make and the salmon was cooked perfectly. However, the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salmon turned out dry. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.
