SALMON:
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 medium (6 oz. each) salmon fillets
4 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
4 Tbsp chardonnay
1 dash(es) dry mustard
heavy-duty foil
PIQUANT DILL SAUCE:
1 Tbsp butter
1 small leek, white part only, washed, finely chopped
1 medium shallot,minced
1 small jalapeño chili, seeds and membrane removed, finely diced
2 clove garlic, minced
1 c chicken stock
1 1/2 c lightly packed fresh dill, stems removed before measuring
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
3 Tbsp dairy sour cream

Steps:

1. Salmon: Cut 2 big pieces of foil. Spray the shiny side with non stick spray. Place 2 pieces of fish side by side in foil and fold up outer edges. --- Combine remaining ingredients in a measuring cup and drizzle evenly over fish.
2. Fold and pinch foil tightly all around to create a water tight seal around package. (I usually wrap with second piece of foil) Place fish packets on top rack of dishwasher. Set dishwasher on "normal cycle" setting. This takes about 50-55 minutes. When cycle is complete, take salmon out, discard foil, place on individual plates and spoon a generous spoonful of dill sauce on top.
3. Make while fish is "washing": Sauce: Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet; add the next 4 ingredients and sauté for 5 minutes ,until vegetables are soft but not browned. Reduce heat to medium low and add chicken stock; Simmer , uncovered for 15 minutes;reducing to 1/2.
4. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to blender and add remaining ingredients, except sour cream. Puree until smooth. Reserve and reheat before serving. Stir in sour cream at the last minute. Enjoy! I just love this recipe.
