Preparation:

In shallow Dutch oven large enough to hold fish in single layer, bring 6 cups (1.5 L) water, wine, onion, celery, parsley, dill, lemon, pepper and salt to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer for 20 minutes.

Add salmon; cover and poach at bare simmer for 7 to 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested. With skimmer or slotted spatula, transfer fish to platter; keep warm. Strain liquid through sieve, reserving 2 tbsp (25 mL).

Dill Mayonnaise: In bowl, whisk mayonnaise, dill, salt, pepper and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the reserved poaching liquid, adding remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) poaching liquid if desired. Serve with salmon.

Additional Information

  • How-tos
    Keep liquid at gentle simmer (160 to 180°F/71 to 82°C). With higher heat, the agitation of the bubbles can damage delicate foods.

    Be sure not to boil poaching liquid; cooking in it may overcook food, drying it out.

    Strain and save the court bouillon to use as a tasty base for soup or in other dishes.
