Poached Salmon in Honey and Dill Sauce

From "The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook"

I like to serve this salmon dish accompanied by rice and green beans, with the sauce drizzled over everything.

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp Butter
1 Onion, Finely Chopped
2 Tbsp Flour
1 Cup Dry White Wine
1 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Dill (Or 1/2 Tbsp Dried)
1 1/2 lbs Salmon Fillet, Rinsed and Patted Dry, Cut into Four Equal Pieces
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Directions:

Heat the butter in a saucepan wide enough to accommodate the salmon fillets. When the butter starts to foam, add the onions and cook until they are translucent, stirring frequently, about five minutes. Add the flour and stir until it is well blended. Pour in the wine and honey and cook. Stir constantly until mixture is well blended and add the dill. Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Lay fillets into pan, skin side down. Bring sauce to a simmer and continue simmering, covered, until salmon flakes apart when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Occasionally scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent the salmon from sticking. Taste sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary.
