Poached Salmon Piccata  

 

Serves: 4

*       1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 4 portions

*       1 cup dry white wine, divided

*       2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

*       1 large shallot, minced

*       2 tablespoons lemon juice

*       4 teaspoons capers, rinsed

*       1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

*       1/4 teaspoon sea salt

*       1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

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. Set aside but keep warm.

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.
