POACHED SALMON



Poached Salmon image

Poached salmon is delicate, moist, and cooks in minutes. Perfect for dinner parties and fast weeknight dinners.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 (6-ounce) center cut salmon fillets (skin on)
water
12 sprigs fresh dill (plus additional chopped dill for serving)
6 whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
Cracked black pepper (lemon wedges (for serving))

Steps:

  • Fill a saute pan wide enough to hold the salmon in a single layer without overlapping the fillets and tall enough to cover the salmon with water about 1/4 of the way to the top. Add the vinegar, honey, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Carefully lower the salmon fillets into the pan in a single layer. Add more water so that they are just barely covered.
  • Scatter the dill, peppercorns, and bay leaf over the top.
  • Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Simmer the salmon, adjusting the heat as needed so that you maintain a steady simmer but not a rapid boil. Let cook 2 minutes.
  • Check the temperature of the salmon using an instant read thermometer. It should be around 135 to 140 degrees F, no more (fish is considered cooked at 145 degrees F, but the temperature will continue to rise as it rests). If needed, cook it 1 to 2 minutes more. DO NOT overcook or your salmon will be dry.
  • With a wide spatula, gently lift the poached salmon out of the water and place it on a plate (discard the poaching liquid). Cover and let rest 4 minutes. Enjoy hot, sprinkled with additional chopped dill, cracked black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon as desired.

POACHED SALMON



Poached Salmon image

This recipe ran with a 1989 article about Georgette Mosbacher, a cosmetics industry executive who frequently entertained for business from her Washington, D.C., home. It's an elegant dish for a large group - the recipe ultimately serves 12 - but it comes together quickly. Serve it, as a commenter suggests, with a homemade tartar sauce.

Time 30m

Yield Twelve servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 3-pound Atlantic salmon fillets, from the center cut

4 sprigs parsley, plus 1/4 cup minced
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
