Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Fish head and bones
Few stalks celery, sliced, if desired
1/2 pound carrots, peeled, sliced, if desired
1 small bunch parsley
2 cups dry white wine
Water
Salt
Black peppercorns
4 (6 to 8-ounce) center cut, skinless, salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Combine all poaching liquid ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring the poaching liquid to a very low simmer and cook 30 minutes. Skim the top as needed to remove any foam from the surface. Lay some cheesecloth over the top of the poaching liquid, making a bed for the fillets. Submerge salmon in poaching liquid and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 1 English cucumber, unpeeled, roughly chopped
  • Fronds from 1 bunch dill (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 2 large lemons, juiced
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup yogurt
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Combine first four ingredients in a blender and puree. Gradually blend in mayonnaise, oil and yogurt and then season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Serve poached salmon with side of sauce.
