Poached Salmon Recipe Method

This is really quick and easy! Take a non stick fry pan, and pour in the wine and water, add the dill, salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets into the pan.
Bring to the boil over a medium heat, and allow to simmer for 3 minutes, turn the fillets over and simmer for a further 3 minutes.
Remove the fillets from the pan and keep warm.
To make the sauce: place the pan back on to a medium heat, whisk in the cream or creme fraiche, the mustard and honey and bring to the boil.
Turn down the heat to medium and add a little of the slaked cornflour mixture to thicken the sauce to a smooth pouring consistency.
Arrange the fish on plates and pour the sauce over.
Serve immediately with potatoes and vegetables of your choice.
