Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
Arrange salmon in the prepared baking dish. Evenly coat with sour cream. Season with white pepper and dill.
Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix the wine and shallot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, until liquid is reduced by about 2 tablespoons.
In a small bowl, thoroughly blend the half-and-half and flour, and stir into the wine mixture. Return the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, and continue to cook and stir until thickened.
Remove the wine and cream mixture from heat, and mix in the Dijon mustard. Pour evenly over the salmon to serve.

"Troy Kilborn, this was absolutely fabulous!! Since I was serving rice on the side, I doubled the sauce (except the flour, used only 1/3 cup), and added just a slight pinch of salt. The wonderful sauce..." See more and the sour cream on the salmon surface, take away any fishy or strong flavor. Made this for the first time, today, and served it to friends. You received RAVE reviews. It's such simple elegance. Served with rice, fresh asparagus and rolls, and additional Chardonnay to drink, it was a totally delicious dinner. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful recipe! Do you have any more like this up your sleeve?"

"I absolutely love this recipe. The salmon stays very moist and the sauce tastes great. I can see where the sauce could become too thick, but I kept a close eye on it and varied the flour as I went. Ve..." See morery easy to prepare. Would be great for any occasion. Thanks."
