Salmon with Radish-Dill Sauce

“I have developed quite a taste for salmon, but I’m am constantly looking for new ways to prepare it. Normally I just broil it with some olive oil and lemon pepper. But I’ve come to really like this sauce, with it’s cream, wine and dill. The radishes give it a nice pink color and the horseradish gives it a little bit of a kick.” – April Ferre
