- Meanwhile, bring a large stockpot of well salted water to a boil..
- Add flour to the onions and fry until it just starts turning brown and has a slight nutty aroma..
- Heat another saute pan on medium high for the fish. Add oil..
- Slowly add cream to the onions a half cup at a time. Stir well to incorporate flour fully between adding. Keep adding until sauce is just a little thinner than you want it. Add bouillon, bacon, parmesan, and seasonings to taste. The cheese will thicken the sauce a bit..

- At the same time drop gnocchi into the boiling water. Remove and rinse with hot water when the gnocchi floats to the top..
- Plate gnocchi. Put sauce over top. Plate salmon over that. Add more parmesan if desired. I added lemon feta antipasto and roasted asparagus..
