POACHED SALMON WITH GINGER AND CILANTRO
Entered for safe-keeping, from Sean Donnellan's "Something Tastes Funny", recipe by Naidre Miller. This cookbook is geared to new cooks and non-cooks. The cilantro and fresh ginger add zing; if you want to tone it down, use half the listed amount of fresh ginger. I prefer to poach salmon over any other preparation method, although I most often poach in my square 1 1/2-quart Corning Glass casserole dish in the microwave, topping the exposed surface with tiny slivers of butter to prevent drying out, checking at 8 minutes, and turning salmon over if additional cooking time is needed, adding more tiny slivers of butter. I keep dry vermouth and dry sherry on hand to use for dry white wine, as these don't go bad if you can't finish the bottle. Whatever wine you choose, it must be good enough for you to drink, avoid "cooking wine". Pinot grigio or a flavorful chardonnay such as Kendall-Jackson also work, or Vouvray would be special if you are trying to impress someone. I recommend a non-reactive pan so the wine won't ruin the seasoning of your favorite saute pan; a Le Creuset enamelled skillet or pot or a heavy non-stick pan would work as well for stovetop. Now poach fish with confidence! You'll eschew Mrs. Paul's or Gorton's forever!

Steps:
- In a small non-reactive heavy-bottomed pan, place salmon, skin side down (keeping the skin on makes it easier to remove the salmon from the pan later). Top with 2 tablespoons of coarsely chopped cilantro, the ginger, garlic, wine, and water.
- Cover and simmer, allowing 8 minutes per inch of thickness, until cooked through (when salmon flakes easily with a fork).
- Serve the salmon with pan juices and garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro. Side dishes of rice and steamed broccoli will make the colors pop.

GINGER POACHED SALMON WITH LIME BASIL CREAM
Steps:
- Halve 1 lime and squeeze the juice into a large straight sided skillet or pot with a lid. Add 6 cups water, the squeezed lime halves, ginger, and peppercorns and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes to infuse the water with flavor; reduce heat to lowest setting, carefully slide salmon into the water, cover, and poach until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Add about 1/2 cup poaching liquid to the container to keep the fish moist and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, zest the remaining lime and add about 1/2 teaspoon zest to the bowl of a food processor; add the juice from half the lime to the bowl (should be about 1 teaspoon juice). Add the basil leaves, a pinch of salt and a few grinds black pepper and pulse until it begins to turn into a paste. Add the creme fraiche and puree until very smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To serve, plate the cold salmon with a drizzle of lime basil cream over the top.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey and hot water until the honey dissolves. Add the ginger, garlic, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon salt, and whisk to combine.
- Arrange the salmon fillets in a 10-cup FoodSaver Preserve and Marinate Container. Pour most of the marinade over the salmon, reserving about ½ cup. Place the lid on the container. Turn the valve so the arrow points to the Marinate/Open position.
- On the FoodSaver vacuum sealer, turn the latch to the Operate position and pull the Built-in Handheld Sealer from the appliance. Remove the liquid reservoir from the Handheld Sealer and insert the tip into the port on the container lid.
- Press the Mode button on the vacuum sealer until the indicator light next to Marinate is illuminated. Press the Handheld button to marinate. The marinating process will start automatically and will take 12 minutes.
- While the salmon is marinating, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use tongs to remove the salmon from the container and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Discard the salmon marinating liquid.
- Roast the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until it flakes easily when nudged with a fork.
- While the salmon roasts, pour the reserved ½ cup marinade into a small pot and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes. Once it has reduced, remove the pot from the heat.
- Spoon the sauce over the salmon, then garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with steamed rice and broccoli.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh and firm to the touch. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain more contaminants.
- Use a good quality poaching liquid: The poaching liquid is what will flavor the salmon, so it is important to use a good quality broth or stock. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the poaching liquid for extra flavor.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to not overcook it. The best way to tell if the salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is done.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Poached salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Poached salmon is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile fish. It is a simple dish to make, and it can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you are new to cooking salmon or you are a seasoned pro, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
