Ingredients
- 4 x 175 g salmon steaks; 3 cm thick
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 4 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 large cucumber; peeled and deseeded
- 7 gram butter
- 120 milliliter dry white wine
- 5 tablespoon soured cream
- 3 tablespoon fresh dill; chopped
Instructions
Yield: 4 servings. Place the salmon on a large piece of lightly buttered foil on a baking sheet. Season lightly and sprinkle with lemon juice. Wrap loosely and bake at 170 C / 325 F / Gas 3 for 20-25 minutes until cooked. Leave to cool in the foil. Dice the cucumber very finely. Cook in melted butter for 2 minutes until translucent. Add wine to the pan, bring to the boil and simmer until all the liquid has evaporated - about 10 minutes - and the cucumber is dry. Remove from the heat, stir in the cream and dill and check seasoning. Serve immediately with the fish.
