After eating this at a restaurant in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, I was surprised that the chef was willing to give me the recipe. My favorite way of preparing salmon. A suitable meal for special company. Excellent with Pinot Grigio - our favorite is Ecco Domani®. We usually serve it with baked rice with pine nuts.

Ingredients

  • 4 , 6 ounce
  • 1 , 6 ounce
  • 4 slices smoked Gouda cheese
  • 0.25 cups butter , melted
  • 2 lemons , juiced - divided
  • 1 , 8 ounce
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 , 2 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Trim the salmon fillets, if necessary, to remove thin portion; with a very sharp knife, cut the fillets horizontally through the center but leave one end uncut so the fillet opens like a book. Place 1/4 of the lump crabmeat onto each opened fillet, and top crab with a slice of smoked Gouda; close the fillets. Place each fillet into a single-serving baking dish. Mix the melted butter and juice of 1 lemon in a small bowl, and drizzle the lemon butter over all the salmon fillets.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily, 30 minutes or as needed.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, mix the juice of the 2nd lemon with sour cream and dill; spoon sour cream mixture over each baked fillet, and sprinkle liberally with capers. Serve immediately.
