Recipe 10: Salmon with Tarragon Mayonnaise
Ingredients:
4 salmon steaks or fillets, about 120 g each
2?3 cup dry white wine
1–2 bay leaves
strip of pared lemon rind
pepper to taste
250 g couscous
4 tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1 cup arugula, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
5 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
150 g plain low-fat yogurt
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
pepper to taste
Preparation:
1. Place the salmon in a deep-sided nonstick frying pan. Pour over the wine and add the bay leaves, lemon rind and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and poach the salmon for 5–6 minutes or until just cooked—it should still be very slightly translucent in the centre.
2. Meanwhile, for the tarragon mayonnaise, stir together the mayonnaise, yogurt, grated lemon rind and tarragon. Season with pepper and spoon the mixture into a serving bowl.
3. When the salmon is cooked, drain off most of the cooking liquid into a measuring cup and add enough boiling water to make 1 1?2 cups. Cover the pan with a lid to keep the salmon warm, off the heat.
4. Pour the diluted fish stock over the couscous in a bowl and leave for 3–4 minutes for the liquid to be absorbed. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and stir in the chopped tomatoes, green onions and arugula. Drizzle over the olive oil and lemon juice, and stir to blend everything together. Season with more pepper.
5. Serve the warm salmon with the tarragon mayonnaise and the couscous salad.
