Ingredients

1 lb center-cut salmon fillet, skinned (see tip) and cut into 4 portions
1 cup dry white wine, divided
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
2 Tbsp lemon juice
4 tsp capers, rinsed
¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream
¼ tsp salt
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill

Directions

1. Place salmon in a large skillet. Add 1/2 cup wine and enough water to just cover the salmon. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, turn the salmon over, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 cup wine; boil until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and capers; cook 1 minute more. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and salt. To serve, top the salmon with the sauce and garnish with dill.

Tip: How to skin a salmon fillet: Place skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip a long knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.
