Microwaved Poached Salmon with Sour Cream Sauce

Microwaved Poached Salmon with Sour Cream Sauce

If you are like me, your microwave is a necessity and is almost my “best friend” I use it some many times a day. This recipe is so versatile it could easily be done on the stove top or be baked in the oven.
