This recipe ran with a 1989 article about Georgette Mosbacher, a cosmetics industry executive who frequently entertained for business from her Washington, D.C., home. It's an elegant dish for a large group - the recipe ultimately serves 12 - but it comes together quickly. Serve it, as a commenter suggests, with a homemade tartar sauce.

Time 30m

Yield Twelve servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 3-pound Atlantic salmon fillets, from the center cut
1 tablespoon salt
10 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, quartered
1/4 cup sliced carrot
1/4 cup sliced celery
4 sprigs parsley, plus 1/4 cup minced
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Cut each fillet into six serving pieces. Set aside.
  • Fill a large fish poacher or roasting pan with enough water to cover the fish when it is added later, and bring the water to a boil. Add the salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, onion, carrot, celery and the sprigs of parsley, and simmer for five minutes.
  • Place the butter, lemon juice, white pepper and minced parsley in a mixing bowl. Beat until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Place the mixture on wax paper and roll into the shape of a log. Chill until ready to use.
  • Add the fish pieces to the court bouillon, cover with a piece of cheesecloth and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the cheese cloth and drain the fish on paper towels. Serve with the maitre d'hotel butter.
