Ingredients

Poached Salmon
1 large salmon
1 cup white wine
1 cup water
1/4 cup pickling brine or pickle juice
1 cup chives, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon dried sage
3 handfuls fresh dill
2 bay leaves
variegated or colored fresh greens
carrot shavings
lemon and lime florets
Spicy Tartar Sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons white processed horseradish
1/2 cup dill pickle relish
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne

Directions

1

Wash the salmon thoroughly. Pour the wine, water, and pickling brine into the bottom of the fish poacher; add the chives, sage, dill, and bay leaves. Place the fish on the greased grill/insert, and set on top of the herbal/liquid mixture. Place over medium-high heat and poach for 15-20 minutes, until the outside meat of the fish has turned a gray-pink color and a cut into the middle of the body of the fish assures that no part is raw or undercooked.
2

Remove to a large platter of variegated or colored greens sprinkled with loads of carrot shavings. Surround with lemon and lime florets. Decorate with a spicy tartar sauce (see below).
3

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, and refrigerate until serving.
