INGREDIENTS

• 2 salmon fillets
• 4 dill sprigs
• 5–6 sage leaves
• 1 Tbs. butter
• 2 Tbs. ginger; chopped
• 2 Tbs. garlic; chopped
• 1 Tbs. whole black peppercorns
• 1½ cups white wine
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 Tbs. dijon mustard
• Salt & pepper; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Start by patting your salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt the better over medium heat. Once the bubbles disappear from the butter, add in the garlic, ginger and cook until fragrant. Add in the wine, ½ cup of the barbecue sauce, 2 sprigs of the dill, sage leaves, and the peppercorns. Stir everything together and bring it to a boil. Then add the salmon fillets. If the liquid is too low, add a bit more wine. Return to a boil, then cover the skillet with the lid slightly ajar, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the salmon is nice and cooked through, it should be slightly flaky and firm throughout. Remove the salmon from the poaching liquid, and use a slotted spoon to remove the dill, sage, and most of the other chunks. Chop your remaining dill to about 1 Tbs. and add it to the skillet. Add in the dijon mustard, the remaining barbecue sauce, and a good grinding of pepper. Then bring it up to a boil and reduce until about half of the liquid is evaporated. Serve the salmon with your veggie side and spoon the sauce generously over it.
