Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lb Salmon Fillets
2 tb Chopped Scallions
1 c Dry White Wine
Salt To Taste
White Pepper To Taste
4 Lemon Wedges

Scrape away white film on skin side of salmon fillets.
Cut fillets into 4 pieces about 8 ounces each.
Scatter scallions in a large skillet wide enough to
fit fillets in single layer. Butter one side of a
piece of aluminum foil as large as the skillet. Pour
wine into skillet and heat to simmering. Sprinkle
salmon lightly with salt and pepper. Gently slip
fillets into wine. Add cold water if needed to
partially submerge fillets. Place foil, buttered side
down, on fish. Simmer very gently until tops of
fillets are opaque and nearly firm, 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool in liquid at least 10
minutes. Salmon can be served warm or at room
temperature. To serve, drain fillets using a large
slotted spatula, and place on dinner plates. From:
