Baked Salmon With Cucumber Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 (175 g) salmon steaks, 3 cm thick
to taste salt
to taste black pepper, freshly ground
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 large cucumber, peeled and deseeded
7 g butter
120 ml dry white wine
5 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Preparation

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.
