, 2005, Ellie Krieger, All rights reserved

Ingredients
2 cups dry white wine
2 cups water
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
2 lemons, unpeeled, sliced
1 (2 pound) salmon fillet with skin
1 scallion, top only, thinly sliced
1 cup Lemon Mint Tzatziki, recipe follows

Directions
Put the wine, water, bay leaves, parsley and of the sliced lemons into a
large deep skillet and bring to a simmer.

Add the salmon, skin side down. Add more water, if necessary, to cover the salmon. Cover the skillet
and simmer over a low heat until the fish is just cooked through, about 8 minutes.

Transfer the fish to a plate, cover it and chill it completely in the refrigerator, about 3
hours.

To serve, peel the skin from the fillet and scrape away any brown flesh. Put the fish on a serving
plate, garnish with scallion and the remaining lemon slices. Serve with Lemon Mint Tzatziki.

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

Salt and pepper

Line a strainer with paper towel and put the strainer over a bowl. Put the yogurt in the strainer
and place it in the refrigerator to drain and thicken for 3 hours.

Seed and coarsely grate the cucumber. Drain it well. In a medium bowl, stir together the thickened
yogurt and olive oil. Stir in the cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, zest and mint. Season with salt and
pepper, to taste, and serve.
