POACHED SALMON
This recipe ran with a 1989 article about Georgette Mosbacher, a cosmetics industry executive who frequently entertained for business from her Washington, D.C., home. It's an elegant dish for a large group - the recipe ultimately serves 12 - but it comes together quickly. Serve it, as a commenter suggests, with a homemade tartar sauce.

Steps:
- Cut each fillet into six serving pieces. Set aside.
- Fill a large fish poacher or roasting pan with enough water to cover the fish when it is added later, and bring the water to a boil. Add the salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, onion, carrot, celery and the sprigs of parsley, and simmer for five minutes.
- Place the butter, lemon juice, white pepper and minced parsley in a mixing bowl. Beat until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Place the mixture on wax paper and roll into the shape of a log. Chill until ready to use.
- Add the fish pieces to the court bouillon, cover with a piece of cheesecloth and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the cheese cloth and drain the fish on paper towels. Serve with the maitre d'hotel butter.
