Ingredients

Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons Cornichons chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Baby Dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Organic Lemon freshly squeezed juice
  • 1 cup Crème Fraîche or Sour Cream

Salmon

  • 3 bottles Clam Juice 8 ounce
  • 3 cups Dry White Wine
  • 10 whole Peppercorn
  • 8 sprigs Dill
  • 6 slices Meyer Lemons
  • 8 Salmon Fillets (6-8 ounces)

Directions

Sauce

Place cornichons, dill and juice in small bowl and stir to blend. Add crème fraîche and stir gently just until combined; do not overmix or sauce will thin out. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.)

Salmon

Combine first 5 ingredients in large, deep skillet; bring to simmer over medium heat. Simmer 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add half of salmon, cover and simmer until just cooked through, about 7 minutes. Transfer to platter. Repeat with remaining salmon. Cover salmon; chill until cold. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)

Line platter with lettuce. Top with salmon. Garnish with lemon slices and dill sprigs. Serve with sauce.
