Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped watercress leaves
1 tablespoon coarse-grained Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 shallot, thinly sliced
4 fresh parsley sprigs
1 fresh thyme sprig
6 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets with skin

Steps:

  • Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl to blend; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Combine 1/3 cup water, wine, shallot, parsley, and thyme in large skillet. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, in skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover skillet tightly and simmer over medium-low heat until salmon is barely opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to platter; discard wine mixture. Cover salmon with plastic wrap and chill until cold, at least 4 hours. (Watercress mayonnaise and salmon can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and keep chilled.)

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. I've made it with different types of fish, such as trout and cod, and it always turns out great. The watercress mayonnaise is also a great addition to other dishes, such as grilled chicken or roasted vege

The watercress mayonnaise was a bit too strong for my taste. I think I'll try a different sauce next time.

I had some trouble poaching the salmon. It ended up being a bit overcooked. I think I'll try baking it next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some additional herbs or spices. The mayonnaise was also a bit too thick for my liking.
