Number Of Ingredients 13

2 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 leek, trimmed, well washed, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 lemon, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
4 sprigs fresh thyme
10 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 dried bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole coriander
2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 cup dry white wine
4 6- to 8-ounce salmon steaks
Lemon Caper Herb Sauce
Watercress and Cucumber Salad

Steps:

  • Combine carrots, leeks, lemon slices, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, peppercorns, coriander, salt, and wine in a wide saucepan. Add enough water so the liquid reaches a depth of 1 1/2 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to barely simmering. Add salmon, cover with a lid or a parchment paper round trimmed to fit, and cook until flesh is firm but slightly moist in center, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer fish to a plate; cover with plastic wrap. Cool to room temperature. Serve with Lemon-Caper Herb Sauce and Watercress-Cucumber Salad, if desired.
