2. Rinse salmon and pat dry with paper towels. Put salmon in a glass baking dish just large enough to hold it and the wine.
3. Pour wine over salmon, add bay leaves, and sprinkle with dillweed and pepper. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
4. Bake salmon for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from oven and keep covered.
5. For sauce, put ingredients in a large saucepan with enough water to cover the vegetables. Boil, covered, over high heat for about 30 minutes, or until celery is soft, stirring occasionally.
6. Carefully ladle mixture into a food processor or blender and puree.
7. To serve, spoon half the sauce onto a large serving platter. Place salmon on sauce. Spoon remaining sauce over salmon or serve on side.
