Delicious salmon with a tangy cream sauce, I only made 1/2 the amount of sauce and only ended up using about 1/4 of it so will cut back on that a fair bit next time but then we don't like to drown our food in sauce just enough to enhance the food. Thank you **Jubes**, made for Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #57 October 2011.
