Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

1 kg thawed salmon fillet, with skin on 1 side (may substitute with steelhead trout)

  • If you do not have a fish poacher (how many of us do?) you can use any oven safe pan large enough to hold your fish.
  • Just crumple and crinkle a medium sized sheet of tin foil and place your fish on the foil skin side down.
  • Add enough water to just come to the edge of the foil without spilling onto the fish (approx 1/3 cup).
  • On top of the fish sprinkle all ingredients.
  • Cover with lid or tin foil.
  • Cook for 12-20 min's.
  • For RARE fish, cook just until white liquid emerges from fish (this is the cooked fish oil).
  • It will be pinky white on the outside and peachy pink inside.
  • For more well done fish, cook until fish is a pinky white color all the way through.
  • Place on a platter to serve.
  • Leave onions, capers and dill on the fish.
  • Slice lemons on the side for those who like fresh lemon juice.
  • This salmon is great served with rice and steamed veggies or a salad.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh salmon fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and bright in color, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Use a gentle touch when handling the salmon fillets. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to be careful not to break it up while cooking.
  • Season the salmon fillets liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Poach the salmon fillets in a flavorful liquid. You can use water, fish stock, or even white wine. Add some herbs and spices to the poaching liquid for extra flavor.
  • Cook the salmon fillets until they are just cooked through. Salmon is a quick-cooking fish, so it's important not to overcook it. The flesh should be opaque and flaky when it's done.
  • Serve the salmon fillets immediately. Salmon is best served fresh out of the poaching liquid. You can garnish the fillets with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Poached salmon fillets are a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your poached salmon fillets turn out perfect every time.
