Poached Salmon with Cucumber Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound cucumber, peeled and seeded
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, grated
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons snipped fresh dill, plus extra for garnish
Salt and pepper
4 6- to 8-ounces salmon fillets, 1/2-inch thick
1 quart water
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Grate cucumber and toss with vinegar and salt in a colander. Set aside for 30 minutes to drain. With your hands squeeze juices from cucumber. Combine cucumber in a mixing bowl with remaining sauce ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Skin salmon fillets and remove bones. Fill a wide saucepan with water, about 3 inches deep. For one quart of water, add 2 teaspoons salt and 3 tablespoons vinegar; adjust proportions accordingly for more or less water. Bring to a boil. Carefully add salmon to pan and adjust heat until water is just below simmering -- it should shiver, and not quite bubble. Cook until fish has turned from translucent to opaque and feels springy to touch, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove salmon with a spatula and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to serving platter, garnish with sauce and decorate with dill sprigs.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salmon turned out dry. I think I overcooked it.

This poached salmon with cucumber sauce was an absolute delight! The salmon was cooked perfectly, moist and flaky, and the cucumber sauce was a refreshing and tangy complement. I served it over jasmine rice and it was a hit with my family.
