- In a small bowl, blend the yoghurt, mustard, honey, lemon juice and dill. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, place the salmon, wine and water. Adjust the amount of water as necessary to just cover the fish. Sprinkle with shallots.

I made this for my fiance and another couple for a small dinner get together. WOW!! The sauce was so easy and reminded us a bit of hollandaise sauce and was wonderful. I will absolutely make it again. (I added a tad more honey than the recipe called for.) Thank you for sharing Karena - 29 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. Pretty good. I omitted the lemon juice. - 29 Sep 2008
I thought this was an excellent and quick way to prepare salmon. I cut the dill mustard sauce in half as it made plenty to cover the fish. - 29 Sep 2008
