MAKE THE TARRAGON MAYONNAISE:

• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise ingredients. Chill until ready to serve.

PREPARE THE SALMON:

• In a large skillet, combine all ingredients except salmon. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the salmon fillets, cover, and gently simmer for 15 minutes or until the salmon is just done.

➡️ Recipe Tips and Substitutions:

• Use your favorite beer for poaching the salmon. An ale or a pilsner will probably work best.
• You may use mashed avocado in place of the mayonnaise. Add the spices to it.
• If you want to just beer poach the salmon and not serve it with the mayonnaise, that’s fine too. It’s excellent added to salads!
