Poached salmon with green herb sauce is a classic dish that combines the rich flavor of salmon with a bright and flavorful sauce. This dish is relatively easy to make and can be served as a main course or as part of a larger meal. The key to making a great poached salmon with green herb sauce is to start with fresh, high-quality ingredients and to cook the salmon gently so that it remains moist and flaky. The green herb sauce is typically made with a combination of fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, as well as butter, olive oil, and lemon juice. This sauce adds a wonderful burst of flavor to the salmon and helps to balance out the richness of the fish.

Categories     main-dish

Time 47m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) skinless salmon fillet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup good olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (4 scallions)
1/2 cup minced fresh dill
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup dry white wine
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
  • Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.

KETO POACHED SALMON WITH GREEN GODDESS SAUCE



Keto Poached Salmon with Green Goddess Sauce image

This elegant dish is full of healthy fats, and though it seems fancy, it's really simple--especially with the make-ahead sauce that's bursting with fresh herbs. A salmon skin "chip" on each plate adds some fun texture and a little something different.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 scallions, white and light green parts, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 oil-packed anchovy fillet
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 4-ounce wild salmon fillets, skins removed and reserved
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 sprigs fresh dill
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Combine the oil, scallions and garlic in a small unheated skillet. Turn the heat to low and cook undisturbed until the mixture begins to sizzle, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. Transfer the mixture to a small food processor. Add the parsley, sour cream, lemon juice, mayonnaise, tarragon, dill and anchovy and pulse to mix, then blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the salmon: Sprinkle the fish all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the dill and lemon slices to a large skillet with high sides. Pour in the wine and 1 cup water, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and place the fish on top of the lemon and dill. Cover and poach until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily when lightly pressed with a fork at its thickest part, depending on the thickness of the fish, 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Just before serving, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pat the salmon skins dry with a clean towel, then add to the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook, turning with tongs, until lightly browned and beginning to crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. (The skin will crisp up further as it cools.) Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sauce on 4 plates. Top each with a piece of salmon. Garnish each with a salmon skin "chip" and serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

POACHED SALMON WITH GREEN HERB SAUCE



Poached Salmon With Green Herb Sauce image

This is a little more work than the normal way I make salmon -- with lemon and old bay under the broiler -- but it is well worth the extra effort! I love to take the salmon cold to work for lunch with a salad! All that protein gives me the extra boost to make it through the afternoon sleepies where I CRAVE carbs like it is going out of style! From goodcooking with Chef John V. AuTHORS NOTE: The method of cooking called "poaching" can be applied to fish, shellfish, chicken, meats, vegetables and fruits. It is a shallow method of cooking where the food item is simmered in a flavored broth with the addition of very little or no fat. It is healthier than sautéing, has a delicate flavor and may be served hot or cold. It is a perfect summer method because you can cook your item without getting the kitchen all heated up. You can also cook items days in advance and then eat them chilled with various salad ingredients if you like. Additional accompaniments of mashed potatoes topped with chopped chives and crisp cooked green beans makes a nice accompaniment. Extra lemon juice isn't needed because it is already in the sauce.

POACHED SOCKEYE SALMON WITH MUSTARD HERB SAUCE



Poached Sockeye Salmon with Mustard Herb Sauce image

Categories     Fish     Herb     Mustard     Poach     Wedding     Dinner     Seafood     Salmon     Shower     Tarragon     Dill     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For fish
1 (6- to 6 1/2-lb) whole sockeye salmon (preferably wild), cleaned, discarding head but leaving tail intact
1 large onion (3/4 pound), sliced
4 Turkish or 2 California bay leaves
6 whole black peppercorns
2 whole allspice
3/4 cup table salt
For sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain or coarse-grain mustard
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
Special Equipment
a 10-quart pot with a lid

Steps:

  • Make fish:
  • Working from head end to tail end, cut fish crosswise into 3-inch sections (very thick steaks; about 4), tapping back of knife with a mallet when you reach center bone to help cut through it. Discard tail if there is no flesh attached. Otherwise, set aside with steaks to cook.
  • Bring 8 quarts water to a boil with onion, bay leaves, peppercorns, and allspice in pot, then stir in salt. Add salmon and cover pot with lid, then turn off heat. Let stand, undisturbed, until fish just separates from bones, about 18 minutes. Transfer salmon to a shallow pan with a slotted spoon and let stand just until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Fish should be neither too warm (it may break) or too cool (it will start to congeal, making it more difficult to remove bones cleanly) when handled.
  • With your hands, carefully remove flesh from each steak in pieces as large as possible, discarding skin and bones and arranging salmon on a platter.
  • Make Sauce while fish stands:
  • Stir together all sauce ingredients.
  • Serve salmon at room temperature with sauce on the side.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS

WILD SALMON WITH GREEN SAUCE



Wild Salmon With Green Sauce image

Wild salmon, green beans, new potatoes and herbs: simple seasonal ingredients for an epic summer dining experience. The most important thing here is not to overcook the salmon. Whether baked or grilled, it is ready as soon as you see white juices rising to the surface, which means the fish will be succulent, not dry. It is better to err on the rare side.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds wild salmon fillet, such as King or sockeye, skin on
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
2 pounds new potatoes
1 pound haricots verts, or a mixture of small green and yellow beans
1 shallot, finely diced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Zest and juice of 1 small Meyer lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped chervil, or a mixture of parsley and tarragon
Lettuce leaves
2 hard-cooked (9-minute) eggs, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Using pliers, remove pin bones from salmon (or have your fishmonger do it). Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet skin side down and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside at room temperature. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Scrub potatoes and simmer in well-salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Top and tail the haricots verts and simmer in well-salted water until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread out on a platter to cool (or rinse briefly in cool water) and leave at room temperature.
  • Make the sauce verte: Put shallot in a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cover with the red wine vinegar. Macerate 5 minutes, then stir in lemon zest and juice, mustard and capers. Whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil. Just before serving, add parsley, chervil and black pepper to taste.
  • Bake salmon, uncovered, until just done, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly. Put beans in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and dress with 2 tablespoons sauce verte. Line a platter with lettuce leaves, if using, then make a pile of beans. With a spatula, lift salmon from skin, then place on top of beans. Dab salmon with 2 more tablespoons sauce verte, garnish with chopped egg and serve. Pass potatoes and remaining sauce separately.

POACHED SALMON WITH TARRAGON SAUCE



Poached Salmon with Tarragon Sauce image

I prepare this poached salmon when she doesn't want to heat up the kitchen. Fixing the sauce first allows the herb seasonings to meld and enhance the mild-tasting steaks. Use two slotted spatulas to remove the poached fish from the pan. Poached fish is delicate and tends to break apart easily. -Laura Lunardi, West Chester, Pennsylvania

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. Ask your fishmonger for recommendations on the freshest catch.
  • To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, use a large skillet or braising pan that is wide enough to accommodate the fillets in a single layer.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when poaching the salmon, as this will prevent the fillets from cooking evenly.
  • When making the green herb sauce, use a variety of fresh herbs for a more complex flavor. Some good options include parsley, cilantro, basil, and chives.
  • To make the sauce creamier, add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche.
  • Serve the poached salmon immediately, topped with the green herb sauce and your favorite sides.
