SALMON FILETS WITH CREAMY, WHITE WINE/CRAB-MEAT SAUCE
The other night after dinner, the conversation was something like this. "Did you just make up this recipe?".... "Yes, I did." Then, you should share it with your "recipe- people"....That is what you ZAARians are "recipe-people"....Served with your favourite dry white wine, this recipe can be adapted to any thick-fleshy fish fillet....remember to leave the fish skin on for the cooking process....Remember to use shallots in this recipe, not white or green onion...shallot flavour is more distinctive, and compliments the other ingredients, without being overpowering.

SEARED SALMON WITH CREAMY WHITE WINE MUSHROOM SAUCE
This seared salmon is nicely complemented by a creamy, lemony white wine mushroom sauce, flavored with thyme and dill weed. Lovely served with steamed asparagus and crusty bread to soak up extra sauce. Using light butter and fat free half and half in the sauce will yield great results and lower calories.

SALMON WITH CRAB SAUCE
Found this online some where about a year ago. We love it. I usually just do two salmon filets and halve the sauce since I cook for just two of us. But if you do the whole sauce recipe and have leftovers it is great on toast for lunch the next day. I used skim milk. Elegant enough for a dinner party
