| Dill-Cream Salmon Steaks |
 |
4
bay leaves
4 scallions, chopped
4 salmon steaks
4 tablespoons chopped dill
2 teaspoons superfine sugar
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup sour cream
dill sprigs, to garnish
|
 |
Lay the bay leaves in the soaked clay pot. Sprinkle half the scallions over, then arrange the salmon steaks on top. Sprinkle half the dill, the remaining scallions, the sugar and seasoning evenly over the fish. Trickle the lemon juice over, then do the same with the melted butter. Cover the pot and place in the cold oven. Set the oven at 425F. Cook for 30 - 35 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked.

Meanwhile, stir the remaining chopped dill into the sour
cream. Use a fish slice to transfer the fish carefully
to warmed plates. The bay leaves may be reserved for garnishing.
Stir the cooking juices into the dill cream and taste
for seasoning. Pour a little dill cream over each salmon
steak and offer the rest separately. Garnish with dill
and bay, if liked. Serve at once, with new potatoes and
salad.
