Parsley Sauce goes extremely well, but it is a matter of choice.
1000 Island Dressing
Tartare are two others I would use

Answer 3

Baked Salmon with Cream Sauce

1/4 cup cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 (6 to 8 ounce) Salmon fillets, 1" thick
Kosher salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup dry white wine, (or dry vermouth), divided
juice of 1/4 lemon
1/4 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper

Peel the cucumbers, cut them lengthwise; use the tip of a spoon to remove the seeds running the spoon down the middle of the cucumber. Slice them into 1/4" slices, and set aside.

Preheat oven to 400° degrees F.

In an ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat (do not let the butter brown). Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, place in the skillet. Sauté 2 minutes per side. Add approximately 2 tablespoons wine to the skillet and place in oven. Bake the salmon 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the baked salmon from skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Discard the oil and butter from the skillet and deglaze the skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons of wine over medium heat. Add the lemon juice, heavy cream and sliced cucumbers until the cream sauce coats the back of a spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To plate up (serve), divide the cream sauce between two plates and place the baked salmon on the cream sauce.

If desired, serve with asparagus spears steamed al dente.

Answer 4

I like to make a bechamel (sp?) sauce with fresh dill.
Make a roux, which is equal parts butter and flour, I do about 2 Tbsp each. Cook that in the pot for a few minutes, stirring constantly to cook off the flour taste. Don't let it get much darker than a golden color. Then add about 1 1/2- 2 C milk (depending on the thickness of the sauce you like)...just add a bit at a time, mixing well into the roux. There's your basic bechamel.
Add fresh dill to taste, salt & pepper. Simmer for a minute or two. Done!

Answer 7

I just grilled some salmon sunday night. I always use an asian type sauce on my salmon....some soy sauce, some honey, some ginger and some sesamie oil. It caramelizes on the grill...its so good!

Answer 8

lemon dill butter usually goes good w/ salmon...it's very easy, soften some butter add lemon juice and some dill, roll it in some saran wrap and freeze it. When the salmon is cooked cut a piece of butter and drop it on top..plus you'll have more ready and last for a while.

Answer 9

I'm not a big fan of salmon, though I love all other fish, but I know it's good for you so I sometimes make wasabi mayo, remoulade sauce or tartar. I've had bechamel and hollandaise on it too.

Answer 10
