A yogurt dill sauce is a cool, creamy counterpart to salmon poached in a delicate white wine and shallot broth.
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
-
- 1 pound salmon
- 1 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup chopped shallots
PREPARATION:
In a small bowl, blend the plain yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and dill. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, place the salmon in the white wine and water. Adjust the amount of water as necessary to just cover the fish. Sprinkle with shallots. Cover the saucepan, and cook 10 to 12 minutes, until salmon is easily flaked with a fork. Drain, and serve with the yogurt sauce.
