Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 8-oz skinless salmon fillets, halved crosswise
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground
20 fresh tarragon leaves, torn
1 qt vegetable broth
2 c sugar snap peas or snow peas, stringed and trimmed
2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
1 c plain low-fat yogurt
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice (or more if you like)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
4 c arugula
20 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 Tbsp shallot, minced
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced
4 lime wedges

Steps:

  • 1. Season fish with salt and pepper. Place in an 8x8x2 or 9x9x2 metal or glass baking dish. Scatter half of the tarragon leaves over the fish. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • 2. Bring the broth to a boil in a small pot. Pour over the salmon to submerge. Let stand until cooked to medium-rare, 10-15 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer to a plate and chill.
  • 3. Cook sugar snap peas in a pot of boiling salted water until crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peas to a bowl of ice water. Let cool; drain. Cut the larger snap peas in half on a diagonal.
  • 4. Scoop the avocado flesh in a food processor. Add yogurt, 1 tbsp lime juice, and cumin; puree. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional lime juice, if desired.
  • 5. Spoon about 1/2 cup avocado puree into the middle of each plate. Mix remaining tarragon leaves, pea, arugula, tomatoes, and shallot in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil; season with lime juice (if desired), salt, and pepper. Toss; divide among plates. Top with salmon and chives; drizzle each fillet with 1/4 tsp olive oil. Serve with lime wedges.

The avocado sauce was a bit bland for my taste, but the salmon was cooked perfectly. I'll try adding some extra herbs and spices to the sauce next time.

Easy to follow recipe with delicious results. The salmon was cooked evenly and the avocado sauce was creamy and tangy. Served it with a side of roasted asparagus and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a big fan of salmon, but this recipe changed my mind. The avocado sauce was the perfect complement to the fish, and the poaching method kept the salmon moist and tender. Will definitely be making this again!
