Step 1

In a large skillet or saucepan, combine water, white wine, lemon slices, dill, bay leaf, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Gently place the salmon fillets (skin-side down) into the poaching liquid. Reduce the heat to low and poach for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the salmon from the poaching liquid using a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to cool. Once cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until fully chilled.

Step 4

To make the herb mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise, parsley, chives, tarragon, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 5

To serve, carefully remove the skin from the chilled salmon fillets. Place each fillet on a serving plate and dollop or drizzle with the herb mayonnaise. Garnish with additional fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.
