Poached Salmon With Lemon Mayonnaise image

This is such a good dish and the presentation is wonderful. Both the salmon and the mayonnaise can be made one day ahead, so it can go on the table quickly when you're ready to serve it. From Bon Appetit, July 1992.

I thought this dish was just okay. The salmon was a bit overcooked and the lemon mayonnaise was too tangy for my taste.

This dish was a great way to introduce my kids to salmon. They loved the flaky fish and the tangy lemon mayonnaise. It's now a regular in our dinner rotation.

Not sure what went wrong but my salmon turned out mushy. Maybe I overcooked it?
