Easy poached salmon is sophisticated with a creamy caper-and-lemon sauce. Make it a meal: Serve with snow peas or roasted asparagus and a whole grain like quinoa or brown rice Ingredients:
1 lb center-cut salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 4 portions |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 large shallot, minced |
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 cup dry white wine |
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill |
4 teaspoons capers, rinsed |
Directions:
1. Place salmon in a large skillet. Add 1/2 cup wine and enough water to just cover the salmon. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, turn the salmon over, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 cup wine; boil until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and capers; cook 1 minute more. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and salt. To serve, top the salmon with the sauce and garnish with dill.
