    List of Ingredients




    3 cups water
    2 cups dry white wine
    2 to 4 sprigs tarragon, leaves reserved and coarsely chopped
    2 bay leaves
    1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
    1 carrot, peeled and sliced
    4 five-ounce fresh salmon filets, all skin and bones removed
    1/2 cup Dijon mustard
    1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greens
    4 to 6 cups mixed greens such as endive, lamb's lettuce, and Bibb

    Recipe



    Combine the liquids in a large pot or skillet. Add 2 tarragon stems
    (leaves reserved), bay leaves, peppercorns, and carrot. Bring to a
    boil. Cook until flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce to a simmer and
    add the salmon filets. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn
    off the heat and allow the salmon to cool in the bouillon. When
    completely cold, remove the salmon from the bouillon. Drain on paper
    towels to dry completely. Cover the fish with plastic wrap, and place
    in refrigerator to chill for 1 to 2 hours, or until ready to serve.

    Meanwhile, place the mustard in a small bowl. In a slow, steady
    stream whisk in the olive oil. Stir in the reserved chopped tarragon.
    Taste and adjust for seasoning.

    When ready to serve, place greens in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil
    and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Arrange greens on 4
    plates. Top each with a piece of salmon. Spoon mustard sauce over
    fish to coat. Garnish with sprigs of tarragon. Serve, passing
    remaining mustard sauce separately.

    Makes 4 servings.
