Oven-Baked Salmon with Horseradish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n
salmon fillet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 container of sour cream or cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 container of heavy cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n
horseradish paste<\/li>\n\n\n\n
generous piece of leek<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n
1. Remove the pin bones from the salmon fillet and remove the skin. Place the salmon fillet in an oven dish and sprinkle with your preferred salt. <\/p>\n\n
2. Mix 1 part sour cream or cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche and 1 part cream. Add one tube of horseradish paste. Mix and pour over the salmon so that the salmon is covered. Tip: make a larger amount if you want a luscious sauce for your potatoes too! <\/p>\n\n
3. You’ll get lovely sweetness and beautiful appearance by sprinkling leek on top of the sauce. Cut a generous piece from the leek stalk and split it lengthwise in half. Then cut half-moon shaped pieces of leek to your preferred size and garnish your beauty with them. <\/p>\n\n
4. Put the fish in the oven and watch the cooking thermometer. When the fish’s internal temperature reaches 42\u00b0C, it’s fit for royalty! Otherwise 40-50\u00b0C is perfectly fine. You can find cooking thermometers in almost all department stores and online shops for just a few euros across the country. <\/p>\n\n
Serve the oven-baked salmon with mashed potatoes, for example. Enjoy your meal! <\/p>\n\n

Lopez de Haro Blanco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Well hello from the white wine section! Our first candidate comes from Spain, and it’s the Rioja-based Hacienda Lopez de Haro Blanco. The grape is Viura, which is still sometimes misunderstood, even though it can produce truly fine wines that age and develop beautifully, especially in the famous Rioja wine region. Hacienda Lopez de Haro Blanco is an excellent example of quality Viura, a fine multi-purpose wine for the dinner table and for tasting already in the kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
