Preparation duration: 30 minutes

Cooking duration: 10 minutes

 

Ingredients:

4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

5 cups dry white wine

2 large bunches fresh chives (about 2/3 ounces)

1 1/2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley

4 large bunches fresh tarragon (about 1 ounce total)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 cups mayonnaise

2/3 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)

1 (6-pound) skin-on salmon fillet

2 large shallots

1/2 pound cooked sugar snap peas, diagonally cut into thirds, for garnish

5 cups water

Equipment:

food processor

frying pan

spatula

knife

Cooking instruction summary:

Make the sauce: Pick enough tarragon leaves to measure 1 cup (do not pack). Chop enough chives to measure 2/3 cup. Coarsely chop shallot. In a food processor puree tarragon, chives, and shallot with remaining sauce ingredients until smooth and season with salt and pepper. (Sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring sauce to cool room temperature before serving.) Make the salmon: Bring the wine and water to a simmer in a large, deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Cut salmon into 12 pieces and season with salt and pepper. Submerge 3 salmon pieces, skin sides down, in simmering liquid (add hot water, if necessary, to just cover salmon) and poach at a bare simmer, covered, 8 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer cooked salmon with a slotted spatula to a platter to cool and poach remaining salmon in same manner. When salmon is cool enough to handle, peel off skin and if desired with a sharp knife scrape off any dark meat. Salmon may be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salmon to cool room temperature before serving. When ready to serve, spoon sauce onto a large serving platter or divide among 12 plates and garnish with peas.

Food Joke

A monastery in the English countryside had fallen on hard times, and decided to establish a business to defray their expenses, such as a bakery or winery. Being English, however, they decided to open a fish-and-chips restaurant. The establishment soon became very popular, attracting people from all over. One city fellow, thinking himself clever, asked one of the brothers standing nearby, "I suppose you're the 'fish friar'?" "No", answered the brother levelly, "I'm the 'chip monk'".
