1 tbsp chopped shallot
1 quart water
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 slices lemons
2 parsley stems
2 tsp salt
8 peppercorns, whole not crushed
1 bay leaf , small, about the size of a nickel
1 tsp butter, softened
2 salmon fillets, center cut, skinless and boneless (about 7 oz each)
1 tbsp basil leaves
1 tbsp fresh chives
1 tbsp scallion, chopped
1 tbsp tarragon
2 tbsp spinach leaves
4 tbsp scallions, chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp sugar

Directions:

(For the Poaching liquid, use the first 12 items listed above).
(For the sauce use the remaining ingredients except for the salmon)
DIRECTIONS
Salmon.
In a large stainless steel or non-stick skillet add the vegetables, water, wine and seasonings and simmer 10 minutes.
Butter the bottom of a casserole dish in which you will poach the salmon.
Place the salmon filets on the buttered area, pour the simmering liquid through a strainer onto the salmon.
Place the casserole on low heat, return to a simmer and cover. Simmer gently about six minutes.
Remove the salmon carefully and drain well, dabbing dry with a paper towel and serve with the following recipe for green herb sauce.
Two tablespoons of sauce per portion of salmon is a good amount.
SAUCE.
Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until totally smooth. Scrape out of the bowl and refrigerate until needed. You may make this sauce up to 3 days in advance and it will still keep its fresh herb taste.
