• Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan. Press garlic into the butter using a garlic press and cook for 1 minute. Pour in cream and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and dill. Be careful that the sauce doesn't break.
• Serve sauce over salmon.

BRAISED FENNEL WITH MEYER LEMON AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Trim the fennel and roughly chop 1 tablespoon of the fronds. Halve each bulb through the core, then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to coat the pan. When hot, cook half the fennel, without moving, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining fennel, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the fennel, broth, lemon rind and juice and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Raise the heat to high and reduce the sauce until syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Fold the sauce and reserved fronds into the fennel and top with Parmesan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PORK ROAST WITH MEYER LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Carefully cut any strings tying the roast and unroll or (depending how its cut) separate/butterfly into halves. Slash the meat at intervals and rub liberally with rosemary and minced garlic. Place in a nonreactive container or resealable plastic bag big enough for the meat to lie flat. Pour the wine over the meat and sprinkle with the remaining rosemary. Let marinate for at least 90 minutes, turning several times.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Remove the meat from the marinade, pat very dry (the bits of rosemary and garlic on the meat are fine. Reassemble into the original roll shape and tie using butchers' twine.
• Place the meat in a roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast for 30 minutes. Baste the meat with any juices that accumulate in the pan, and roast for 15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, combine the sugar, half cup lemon juice and the Cointreau. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Discard any fat in the roasting pan, then spoon the lemon mixture over the meat. Roast for 30 minutes longer, basting the meat with the glaze every 5 to 10 minutes. The glaze will become thick and the roast a glossy brown.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board, reserving accumulated pan juices. Let the meat set on a plate for 10 minutes before carving.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice to the reserved pan juices along with any juices released by the roast. Pour into a sauceboat and pass at the table.
