4		Salmon steaks or fillets - (6 to 8 oz ea) - skin and bones
		Removed
2 cups	474ml	Champagne
1/4 cup	59ml	Fresh lime juice
4		Red onion
1 tablespoon	15ml	Capers - optional
4 sections		Fresh tarragon

		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Mix together mustard and chopped tarragon, hold aside.

Season salmon steaks/fillets lightly with salt and pepper. Place in a pan just large enough to hold the salmon in 1 layer. Add the champagne, lime juice and just enough water to cover the fish. Remove the fish and bring the liquid to a boil.

Return the salmon steaks/fillets to the pan. Top each with an onion slice, capers and tarragon sprig. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover pan with foil and poach at no more than a simmer for 6 to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon).

Remove salmon steaks/fillets from the liquid and place on 4 warm serving plates. Top each piece of fish with 1 ounce of the mustard mixture and serve.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
