"When you feel neglected, think of the female salmon, who lays 3,000,000 eggs but no one remembers her on Mother's Day." -Sam Ewing, Writer
I love poaching food but don't always think of it. It's the perfect way to cook because it gives you just the right control over the cooking process. The poaching water is a good way to impart flavor and the best part -- no added calories because of having to cook in a fat.

Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, tarragon, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Chill.
Place the water in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shallot, bay leaves, peppercorns and allspice. When the water begins to boil reduce the heat to medium low so that the water is barely shivering. Let the water heat at that temperature for about ten minutes.
Add the salmon filets to the poaching water and increase the heat slightly. Do not let the water come to a higher boil than a shiver.
Poach the salmon for about 8 - 12 minutes depending on thickness. Remove to a paper towel to blot dry and then place on a plate. Top with the mayonnaise and serve.
