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

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillet
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium lemon, sliced
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
2 tablespoons drained capers, minced
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced lemon zest
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Remove salmon skin and any pin bones; pat dry. Rub both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on the baking skeet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the thickest part is still translucent and an instant-read thermometer reads at least 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), about 15 minutes; salmon will continue to cook once out of the oven.
  • While salmon is roasting, prepare tartar sauce: combine mayonnaise, sour cream, tarragon, relish, capers, shallot, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, Dijon, sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix until blended. Chill to blend flavors until salmon is ready.
  • Remove salmon from the oven. Transfer to a platter and garnish with lemon slices and tarragon. Serve with tartar sauce.
