Elevate juicy salmon with flavorful herb mayonnaise for a delicious seafood feast!
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup dry white wine, nonalcoholic white wine or apple juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 4 black peppercorns
  • 4 sprigs cilantro
  • 2 lb salmon or other medium-firm fish fillets
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill weed or tarragon leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Dash of ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • Lemon wedges, if desired
Instructions:
  • In a 12-inch skillet, bring all ingredients for the Salmon, except for salmon, Herb Mayonnaise, and lemon wedges, to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Cut the salmon into 6 serving pieces. Place the salmon in a skillet and add water to cover if needed. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer uncovered for about 14 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Gently lift the salmon using a slotted spatula, allowing any excess liquid to drain on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
  • In a small bowl, combine all Herb Mayonnaise ingredients and chill until ready to serve. Serve with salmon and lemon wedges.
