Creamy Baked Salmon Recipe
Recipe Type:
Salmon,

Wine,
Diet
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Ingredients:
2 pounds
salmon filets
3/4 cup sour cream (non-fat)
1/3 cup mayonnaise (non-fat)
2 tablespoons all-purpose
flour
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed
lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried
dill weed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (non-fat)
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/3 cup
white wine
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash salmon filets and pat dry. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Arrange salmon filets, skin side down, in a single layer on the prepared baking pan.
In a medium bowl, with a wire whisk, blend sour cream, mayonnaise, flour, lemon juice, dill, cream cheese, garlic and wine until smooth: spread over
the salmon. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper and paprika.
Bake, uncovered, approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until a
meat thermometer registers an
internal temperature of 140 degrees F (salmon will be slightly opaque in thickest part).
During this time the meat continues to cook (meat temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the oven)
and the juices redistribute.
Approximately cooking times for salmon:
1/4 to 1/3-inch - 3 to 4 minutes
1/2 to 3/4-inch - 4 to 6 minutes
1 to 1 1/2-inch - 8 to 12 minutes
This
is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking. I get many readers
asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the
Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the
Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent
thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click on the underlined:

Remove from oven and transfer onto a serving platter.
