Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 skin-on salmon fillet (about 1 1/4 pounds), preferably wild
1 pound baby potatoes, such as Yukon Gold
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill
1 large cucumber (about 3/4 pound), peeled and thinly sliced
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring 1 1/4 inches of water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet. Generously season with salt. Add salmon, skin-side down; return to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand until salmon is just opaque throughout, 15 to 17 minutes. Use a slotted spatula to transfer salmon to a plate, skin-side up.
  • Meanwhile, bring 2 inches of water to a simmer in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket (or a metal colander). Place potatoes in basket, cover, and steam until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Whisk together buttermilk and mayonnaise in a bowl, stir in dill, and season with salt and pepper. Remove skin from salmon; flake fish into large pieces. Divide salmon, potatoes, and cucumber among plates; drizzle with dressing, and serve with lemon wedges.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. The salmon was cooked well, but the dressing lacked flavor. I would recommend adding some herbs or spices to the poaching liquid to give the dish more depth.

This is one of my favorite salmon recipes. The poaching method is foolproof and the dill dressing is to die for. I usually serve it with roasted vegetables and a side of quinoa.
