Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly coat a large skillet with olive oil; heat on medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking.
Season salmon on all sides with salt and pepper; sear on both sides; remove salmon to a baking sheet; bake 12-15 minutes, or until just done through.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Add the shallot to the browning skillet; saute for 1-2 minutes to soften; add wine; let wine reduce for several minutes. Add the lemon juice and cream to the skillet; bring to a simmer. Add the fresh dill and capers; add salt and pepper, to taste.
When the salmon is done, add it to the skillet, placing it down in the sauce; spoon some sauce over the salmon. Garnish with lemon and more fresh dill.
Serve immediately on a bed of wilted spinach, with couscous or a rice pilaf on the side.
