Creamy Baked Salmon

2 pounds salmon fillets
3/4 cup sour cream (non-fat)
1/3 cup mayonnaise (non-fat)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh 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

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash salmon 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 fish. 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). Remember the salmon continues to cook after it is removed from the heat source. Remove from oven and transfer onto a serving platter.

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

Makes 4 servings.
