Try adding a couple of tablespoons of mayo and sugar to sweeten this up a bit, otherwise the sour cream is a bit overwhelming

I enjoy this dish when I a) grill the salmon on an indoor grill and b) do not need the sour cream. Also, I like to make up a mixture of the mustard with lots of dill as well as dill seeds, oil, and a little bit of salt. There are never any leftovers when I make this meal and your suggestion of the greens makes it just perfect!

So-So --- needed more taste to it other than the mustard which I thought was over-whelming --- less mustard and more sour cream mixed with onion or tarragon would be good --- that would be only way I would make it again.

I made some changes to the recipe. I did not add the vegetable oil. I sauteed the salmon in spray butter and lemon juice.

Use dill in the poaching liquid to bolster the flavor.

Even though I didn't prepare the recipe at the time I read it, I chose it because I know by the ingredients my family would enjoy it. Also, I plan to make the recipe this weekend when all 4 of us are home!

When you are poaching the salmon, add some dill to the water.
