This is an excellent accompaniment to any fish, but goes particularly well with salmon and sea trout.

Ingredients:

240ml dry vermouth (or dry white wine)
240ml vegetable or chicken stock
3 tbsp freshly-squeezed lemon juice
3 tbsp whipping cream
3 tbsp cornflour
3 tbsp capers
3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Method:

Add the wine, stock, lemon juice and cream to a saucepan. Whisk together and heat over a low flame. When warmed through take off the heat and whisk in the cornflour a little at a time. Return to the heat and gently bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Stir-in the capers and dill at this point, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Once made, the sauce can be refrigerated over night, but needs to be re-heated before serving.
