Ingredients

2/3 cups Dry white wine

2/3 cups Water

1 Bay leaves

1 sprig Flat-leaf parsley

2/3 Lemon, unpeeled, sliced

2 Salmon fillets with skin

1/3 Scallion, top only, thinly sliced

1/3 cup Lemon Tzatziki, recipe follows

1/3 cup Non-fat yogurt

1/3 cup English cucumber

1/4 teaspoon Olive oil

2/3 teaspoons Lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon Minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon Lemon zest

Salt and pepper

Preparation

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 Tzatziki.

Lemon Tzatziki:

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
