QUICK POACHED SALMON WITH DILL MUSTARD SAUCE
This is an easy, elegant, wonderful salmon dish with a no-cook sauce. It really doesn't get much easier. I love it best on swelteringly hot summer days. Fresh steamed asparagus goes very well with this, and the sauce tastes good on it as well.

Tips:

- To ensure even cooking, use a shallow poaching pan that is large enough to accommodate the salmon fillets in a single layer.
- Do not overcrowd the pan, or the salmon will not cook evenly.
- Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon. It is done when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Do not overcook the salmon, or it will become dry and tough.
- For a richer sauce, use a combination of butter and olive oil.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- If desired, add chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, to the sauce.
- Serve the salmon immediately with the sauce.
