Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup dry white wine (I used a dry Spanish Albarino)
3 tablespoons chopped chives, divided
2 sprigs of thyme
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 meyer lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
1 1/2 lb salmon fillet, pin bones removed
1/2 cup whipping cream
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

Bring wine, 2 tablespoons chives, sliced shallots, and thyme sprigs to a simmer in a heavy large skillet. Add fish, lay lemon slices on top of fish in a single layer, cover and simmer until fish is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer fish and lemon slices to plates. Tent with foil to keep warm. Remove thyme sprigs from skillet. Add cream to skillet and bring to a boil. Boil until reduced to sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Mix in mustard. Spoon sauce over fish. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of chives and gently squeeze lemon slices on top.
