Creamy Baked Salmon

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

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). NOTE: 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


meat thermometerThis is the type of thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking.  I am always being asked what type of cooking thermometer do I use and recommend. I, personally, use the Thermapen 5 Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen 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: Thermapen 5 Thermometer
