Serves 4 with leftovers
| 1 | teaspoon olive oil |
| 1 | large shallot, thinly sliced |
| 3 | cloves garlic, thinly sliced |
| 1 | cup white wine |
| 8 | cups chicken stock |
| Salt and pepper, to taste | |
| 2¼ | pounds skinless, boneless salmon, cut into 6 equal pieces |

| Juice of ½ lemon | |
| ¼ | cup (½ stick) butter |
| 2 | tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
| 2 | tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
| 2 | tablespoons chopped fresh dill |
2. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Place salmon in the liquid. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove fish from liquid, and reserve 2 pieces for the bollito.
3. Transfer 1½ cups of the cooking liquid to a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Reserve the poaching liquid remaining in the skillet (about 6 cups) for the bollito.
4. To the liquid in the saucepan, add the peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and butter. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir until the butter is incorporated. Stir in all but 1 teaspoon of each of the herbs.
5. Place 1 piece of fish on each of 4 plates. Top with peas and sauce and garnish with the remaining herbs. Karoline Boehm Goodnick
