White Wine Poached Salmon With Tarragon & Cream (For One)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 ounces fresh mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups dry white wine (or dry white vermouth, or part wine and part water)
• 1 salmon fillet, skinned (about 6 ounces)
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon (plus more for garnish)
• fresh lemon, quarters to serve

1. In a small skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until they give off some liquid, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Pour the wine into a saucepan large enough to hold the salmon and bring to a simmer. Slip in the salmon, cover pan, and poach gently over low heat until the salmon tests done (it should appear opaque when pierced with the point of a knife), 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the salmon from the poaching liquid with a slotted skimmer and set aside on a warmed plate. Keep warm.
3. Add cream and 1 tablespoon tarragon to the poaching liquid and reduce over high heat to a syrupy sauce. Add mushrooms and warm through. Spoon sauce over salmon and garnish with more tarragon and fresh lemon.
4. Serve with rice and a glass of wine.
