(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.
