Steps:
- Place all the ingredients for the poaching liquid in a pan and gently poach the salmon for 7-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked. Strain and reserve the poaching liquid.
- Place the salmon on a warm serving plate, cover and keep hot.
- Make the butter sauce by whisking the egg yolks and lemon juice together. Place in a heat-proof bowl and set over a pan of hot but not boiling water on a very low heat. Whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir in the butter gradually, allowing a small amount to melt at a time. If any lumps appear in the mixture, remove the bowl from the heat and add a teaspoon of cold water before placing back on the heat.
- Once all the butter has been mixed in and the sauce is to the required thickness, remove from the heat and add in the three tablespoons of whisky and the three tablespoons of poaching liquid. Pour over the salmon and serve with fresh vegetables.

WHISKEY-GLAZED SALMON WITH SALT-CRUSTED POTATOES
The savory snap of baby potatoes crusted in salt is just what you want with the subtle sweetness of this fish's glaze. The fish and the potatoes cook and come together at the same time in this fast meal. To achieve silky salmon without turning on the oven, gently cook it in a shallow pool of sauce that thickens to a syrup as it simmers. The potatoes, prepared using a technique from the Canary Islands, simply boil in generously salted water, then finish cooking with a splash of the liquid. When it evaporates, the salt that remains crusts onto the spuds. Shaking the pan vigorously helps the salt coat the potatoes evenly and sheds excess crystals. Serve with a salad or, after the glaze is scraped onto the fish, throw baby spinach into the still-hot skillet and stir to just wilt.

Steps:
- Make the potatoes: The potatoes should all be the same small size, about 1 inch in diameter, so cut any larger ones in halves or quarters. Place in a large saucepan with 4 cups water and add the salt. Bring to boil over high heat, then continue boiling until a paring knife slides through a potato easily, about 15 minutes.
- About 5 minutes before the potatoes are tender, start the salmon: Combine the sugar, whiskey and Worcestershire sauce in a large skillet, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet skin side down (or the flat side if the fillets are skinless). Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the salmon becomes opaque about halfway up the sides, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, carefully tip the saucepan into the sink to pour out all but about 1/4 cup cooking water, keeping the potatoes in the pan. Return the saucepan to the stove with the potatoes and a thin layer of cooking water at the bottom, and set over high heat. Cook, shaking the pan often, until the liquid evaporates and the potatoes are crusted in a fine film of salt, about 5 minutes. The pan should be extremely dry and coated in salt and the potatoes will sound crackly when shaken.
- Flip the salmon and continue cooking until just opaque from top to bottom and a paring knife slides through with almost no resistance, about 5 minutes longer. If you started with a 1-inch-thick fillet, this will be medium-rare. The timing will vary depending on the thickness of your fish and your preferred doneness. If you'd like, use tongs to peel off and discard the skin if there is any. The glaze should have thickened and be syrupy.
- Divide the potatoes and salmon among serving plates and drizzle any glaze from the pan over the fish.
SMOKED SALMON IN CREAMY WHISKEY SAUCE OVER PASTA
This makes a quick yet elegant main course, with rich flavors. The mascarpone cheese can be substituted with cream, but you will need to cook it down for a few minutes after adding to reduce and achieve the proper consistency for the sauce. DO NOT leave the pistachios out, I think they are integral to the dish !

Tips for Cooking Salmon with Whiskey Sauce:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for this dish. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has no odor.
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are grilling, baking, and pan-frying. Be sure to cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, as overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Make a flavorful whiskey sauce. The whiskey sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a good quality whiskey and plenty of fresh herbs. The sauce should be thick and creamy, with a slightly sweet and smoky flavor.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Salmon with whiskey sauce can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with a simple green salad.

Salmon with whiskey sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the flaky salmon and the flavorful whiskey sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook salmon, give this recipe a try.
