WILD SALMON WITH GREEN SAUCE
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.

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.

KETO POACHED SALMON WITH GREEN GODDESS SAUCE

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.
WILD SALMON WITH CHIVE OIL AND LIME CRèME FRAîCHE
The wild king salmon season opens in late spring in Alaska and all the way down the West Coast. The season continues through summer, but is at its best in June. The year's first wild salmon has brilliant red flesh, a mild sweet flavor and a velvety texture. Farmed salmon doesn't compare. You pay a high price for wild salmon, but the splurge is worth it. Paired with bright green chive oil and limey crème fraîche, it will make you swoon.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lay the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Coat salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Bring to room temperature.
- Make the chive oil: Put 1 cup roughly chopped chives in a blender or food processor. With the food processor running, slowly add oil and a pinch of salt. You should have a bright-green oil. Transfer chive oil to a small bowl.
- Put crème fraîche in a small bowl. Stir in lime zest and juice. Season with a little salt.
- Bake salmon on top rack of oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until just done. When you see juices begin to rise to the surface of the fish, remove fish from oven. (It is better to err on the less-cooked side; the fish continues to cook a bit from residual heat.)
- To serve, transfer fish to individual plates or a platter. Dollop about 1 tablespoon of limey crème fraîche on each fillet. Drizzle chive oil over the top and sprinkle with chives. Garnish with blossoms and watercress sprigs.
POACHED SALMON WITH GREEN HERB SAUCE
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.

Tips
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for fish that is bright in color and has a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull or has a slimy texture.
- Cook the salmon gently. Overcooking will dry out the fish and make it tough. Use a low heat setting and cook the salmon until it is just cooked through.
- Make the green sauce ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all good choices.
Conclusion
Wild salmon with green sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked gently to preserve its delicate flavor, and the green sauce adds a bright and herbaceous note. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
