Steps:
- Place salmon steaks in a large skillet with water, salt and vinegar [the water should come 1/2 up the side of the salmon].
- Turn on heat and keep just under a boil for 10 minutes.
- Turn steaks and cook, simmering, for another 10 minutes.
- Remove steaks and take off skin and remove bones on the inside.
- Add dill, chopped scallions, lemon juice and peanut oil to water.
- Cook on medium heat until reduced to a sauce - 5-10 minutes.
- Place salmon steak on plate.
- Mold cooked rice in a 1/2 cup measuring cup and unmold on plate.
- Top rice with spinach.
- Pour sauce over spinach.
- And serve.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality salmon fillet that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink color.
- To ensure the salmon cooks evenly, make sure it is of uniform thickness throughout.
- Use a large enough poaching liquid to completely cover the salmon fillet.
- Bring the poaching liquid to a gentle simmer before adding the salmon. This will help prevent the fish from overcooking.
- Cook the salmon until it is just opaque in the center, about 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness.
- To check if the salmon is done, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the flesh flakes easily, the salmon is cooked through.
- Remove the salmon from the poaching liquid and let it cool slightly before serving.
