In a large skillet saute the onion and garlic in butter until transparent. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice and dill. Bring to a boil; add salmon steaks. Reduce heat and cover pan tightly. Simmer steaks over low heat 6-8 min or until fish just begins to flake with a fork. With a slotted spoon or spatula, remove the salmon to a heated platter and keep warm. Pour off and reserve the poaching liquid. [You can reduce it in a small sauce pan to intensify flavors.]

Melt the butter in the skillet. Add the flour stirring to form a smooth paste. Add the half-and-half slowly, stirring constantly until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of the poaching liquid and cook sauce over low heat until smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and dill. Pour the sauce over the salmon steaks and serve.
