Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 skin-on salmon fillet (about 1 1/4 pounds), preferably wild
1 pound baby potatoes, such as Yukon Gold
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill
1 large cucumber (about 3/4 pound), peeled and thinly sliced
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring 1 1/4 inches of water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet. Generously season with salt. Add salmon, skin-side down; return to a boil.

COLD POACHED SALMON WITH DILL MUSTARD SAUCE



Cold Poached Salmon With Dill Mustard Sauce image

The centerpiece of a summer solstice menu created in 2005 for The Times, this dish alludes to gravlax - the Scandinavian dish of cured salmon - with the spices used to poach the salmon and the sweet mustard sauce. The cooking technique here yields the most tender flesh you may ever encounter with salmon.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small bunch fresh dill
1 whole salmon (wild, if possible), about 6 pounds, cleaned and scaled (or substitute a center-cut section of a larger salmon)
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 onion, peeled and quartered
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons chopped dill
1/2 teaspoon salt, or as needed
1 generous bunch dill
2 lemons, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • To poach salmon, begin by placing the small bunch of dill inside cavity of the salmon, and put salmon in a fish poacher or a large roasting pan. (If necessary remove head to fit salmon in pan.) Cover with water, and add salt, sugar, mustard seeds, peppercorns and onion. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn salmon over, and cook 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and let salmon cool in water for about an hour.
  • To make sauce, whisk together the mustard and brown sugar in a small pitcher. Add sour cream and vinegar, and whisk until smooth. Mix in the chopped dill, and season with salt. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.
  • To serve, remove salmon from poaching liquid and lay on large sheet of parchment or waxed paper. Remove skin from top, gently peeling it away, along with fins. Carefully lift top layer of salmon in one long fillet, removing it from backbone and transferring it to a large platter.
  • Lift backbone off fish in one piece, and pick out any other visible bones. Turn fish over, and remove skin as before. Then place second fillet alongside the first on platter. Arrange leafy sprigs of dill between fillets, and drizzle sauce on top. Scatter lemon wedges around edges of plate. Pass pitcher of sauce separately.

Tips:

  • Choose a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm to the touch and has a vibrant pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have any off odors.
  • Use a large pot to poach the salmon. This will help to ensure that the salmon cooks evenly.
  • Bring the poaching liquid to a gentle simmer before adding the salmon. If the liquid is boiling, it will overcook the salmon and make it tough.
  • Poach the salmon for 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness. Use a fork to gently flake the salmon to check for doneness. The salmon should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve the poached salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, and a dill sauce.

Conclusion:

Poached salmon is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. It is a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients. This dish is also relatively easy to make and can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you are new to cooking salmon or are looking for a new way to prepare it, poached salmon is a great option.
