I already prepared this dish several times and it was always appreciated by my guests. Last time I substituted the salmon for leek to make the dish vegetarian and it maintained the high quality level.
Garlic instead of onion, lemon zest too, poached salmon whole and cut up at end. Basil instead of dill and no cheese in sauce, just added at end. Lots of pepper. Angel hair.
Followed to a T with fresh tomatoes and basil (instead of dill), was fabulous, easy, and a great leftover..
We added some lightly fried asparagus, and that worked well.
