Baked Salmon with Cucumber Sauce

Ingredients

4 x 175 g salmon steaks; 3 cm thick
salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 large cucumber; peeled and deseeded
7 grams butter
120 milliliters dry white wine
5 tablespoons soured cream
3 tablespoons fresh dill; chopped

Instructions

Yield: 4 servings. Place the salmon on a large piece of lightly buttered foil on a baking sheet. Season lightly and sprinkle with lemon juice. Wrap loosely and bake at 170 C / 325 F / Gas 3 for 20-25 minutes until cooked. Leave to cool in the foil. Dice the cucumber very finely. Cook in melted butter for 2 minutes until translucent. Add wine to the pan, bring to the boil and simmer until all the liquid has evaporated - about 10 minutes - and the cucumber is dry. Remove from the heat, stir in the cream and dill and check seasoning. Serve immediately with the fish.
