In a large skillet over medium-low heat, place salmon fillet and sherry. Cover and poach 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes. Remove salmon; cool, cover, and refrigerate. Discard sherry.

Prepare Parmesan Crust. While crust is baking, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic; saute until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, beat the sour cream and eggs with a wire whisk until well mixed. Flake the poached salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces and fold into the sour cream mixture. Add the onion mixture, 1 cup Gruyere cheese, dillweed, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Pour salmon mixture into prepared crust and top with remaining ½ cup cheese. Bake uncovered at 375° 1 hour, or until cheese topping is browned and firm. Remove from oven and allow pie to rest 5 minutes. Prepare Lemon Sauce.

Invert salmon loaf pie onto a serving platter. Garnish with parsley sprigs. To serve, cut pie into thick slices and drizzle each slice with Lemon Sauce.
