Poached Salmon with Creamy Piccata Sauce

It is so cold in Wisconsin! I just keep telling myself only a few more months, only a few more months till..... MEXICO! We leave in early May for a much needed vacation that can't come soon enough! I found this recipe on eatingwell.com's website and couldn't wait to try it. I made it for game night with my parents and everyone loved it. Not only does it taste great, but it is easy and healthy. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, skinned (see Tip) and cut into 4 portions
1 cup dry white wine, divided
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons capers, rinsed
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions

Place salmon in a large skillet. Add 1/2 cup wine and enough water to just cover the salmon. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, turn the salmon over, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 cup wine; boil until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and capers; cook 1 minute more. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and salt. To serve, top the salmon with the sauce and garnish with dill.

Tip: How to skin a salmon fillet: Place skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip a long knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either. If you are not comfortable doing this ask the staff at the fish counter when you purchase the salmon.
