01 Step
Recipe View
Prepare the Dill Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and honey until smooth and well combined. (Time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce while you prepare the salmon. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen. (Time: minimum 15 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Poach the Salmon: Place the salmon portions in a medium saucepan, arranging them in a single layer. (Time: 2 minutes)
04 Step

Pour in the white wine, then add just enough cold water to completely cover the salmon. Sprinkle the chopped shallots evenly over the top. (Time: 3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Time: 8-12 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Carefully remove the salmon from the poaching liquid using a slotted spatula. Gently pat the salmon dry with paper towels. (Time: 3 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Serve: Place the poached salmon portions on plates. Generously spoon the chilled dill mustard sauce over the salmon. Garnish with extra fresh dill sprigs, if desired. (Time: 2 minutes)
For a richer sauce, substitute sour cream or crème fraîche for half of the yogurt.
Experiment with adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat.
Serve with steamed asparagus, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
The poaching liquid can be strained and used as a flavorful base for a seafood soup or risotto.
