Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pour the liquid from the foil in which the salmon baked into a saucepan. Add the chopped or sliced vegetables with which the salmon was baked. Bring this mixture to the boil and let it simmer about 15 minutes or until it is reduced to one and one-half cups when strained.

  2. Step 2

    Strain the sauce and return it to the saucepan. Add the cream.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare a beurre manie by blending the room-temperature butter and flour until they form a smooth paste. Bring the sauce to the simmer and gradually add the butter-flour mixture, stirring constantly. When the blend is thick and smooth, add the cold butter bit by bit, stirring. Add the lemon juice, salt and cayenne to taste. Remove from the heat. Serve the salmon hot with this sauce.
