Salmon in Vodka Cream Sauce

8 tablespoons butter

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 pound spinach---I use frozen pkgs....

6 salmon filets--partially defrost the salmon

salt and freshly ground pepper

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup vodka--I have never used this part...but I am sure it would add a

different flavor..there are no carbs in Vodka...but can initiate cravings

for some

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice-I use Minute Maid frozen lemon juice...but

fresh lime IS better

1/4 cup snipped fresh chives

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine 4 tablespoons butter and onion in large

Dutch oven. Cover and sauté them in butter on the stove

Stir spinach (defrosted and drained) into onion and sauté, about 3 minutes.

Remove from oven; keep warm. If you use fresh...sauté until nice and

wilted.

Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet

over high heat. Add salmon in batches and cook until done to liking.

Transfer to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Pour

off excess oil from skillet. Add cream and vodka and boil until slightly

thickened, about 4 minutes. Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and stir

until butter is just melted. Mix in lime juice, season with salt and

pepper.

Divide spinach and onion mixture among plates. Top each with salmon

fillet. Spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with snipped fresh chives.

This is excellent.....even without the vodka....

Dill Cream Sauce over Poached Salmon

This is a cold cream sauce used with poached Salmon. I like to heat mine

slightly.

Salmon poached (I use a lemon and salted water to poach with)

½ cup Heavy Cream (whipping cream)

2 Tbsp. Dill (fresh & chopped) dried does well too.

1 Tsp. White Wine

Pinch of ground Nutmeg (this is the KEY ingredient to a good white sauce)

Salt & White Pepper (to taste)

Whip the cream until thick but not to the point of being stiff, blend in the

other ingredients mixing well, keep cool until ready to serve.

Spoon sauce over salmon just before serving. I prefer the sauce heated.

Serve with a large GREEN SALAD. And a glass of white wine....(1 GM)

Poached Salmon with Sour Cream Sauce

SERVINGS: 6

1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine

3 cups water, plus 1 to 2 cups boiling water

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 celery rib, thinly sliced

1 garlic clove, smashed

5 parsley sprigs

4 thyme sprigs

1 small rosemary sprig

1 bay leaf

Salt

6 salmon fillets

1 teaspoon unsalted butter

1 cup sour cream

1 cucumber--peeled, halved lengthwise

2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained (?? carb

count)

2 tablespoons finely chopped dill

Freshly ground pepper

1. In a large deep skillet, combine the wine with the 3 cups water, the

onion, celery, garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf and bring to a

boil. Cook over moderate heat until the liquid has reduced by half, 10 to 12

minutes. Strain the liquid, return it to the skillet and bring to a simmer;

season with salt.

2. Add the salmon to the skillet so the fish is

immersed in liquid; if necessary, add boiling water. Turn off the heat and

let the salmon stand uncovered in the hot liquid until slightly rare in the

center, or done to preference about 10-20 minutes. Carefully transfer the

fillets to a platter to cool somewhat, then pat dry with paper towels.

3. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sour

cream, cucumber and capers and cook over moderate heat, stirring, just until

warmed through. Stir in the dill and season with salt and pepper. Serve the

salmon warm or at room temperature with the warm cucumber salad.

JJ-who found warm cucumber salad is pretty good
