I had a similar dish recently at a German restaurant in Dresden. This is my version of that dish. It's creamy with a great light lemon flavor and is excellent topped with grilled salmon.

A great dish! I added some sauteed wild mushrooms (pictured) and served this alongside broiled lemon chicken and a salad. It made for a very tasty meal.

I liked it but hubby and 4 YO did not. (Both super picky) IT could have used some veggies though. I would make it again but add either asparagus or broccoli to it.
