Categories     dinner, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds whole salmon with head and tail
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups fish stock
1/2 cup dry vermouth
Juice of one small lemon
Juice of one orange
2 bunches scallions, washed and trimmed
1 bunch parsley, washed
1 bunch dill, washed and trimmed
1/4 cup vodka
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Steamed asparagus

Steps:

  • Wash salmon thoroughly. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Place stock, vermouth and juices in fish poacher or steamer on stovetop.
  • On poacher's rack, arrange scallions as a bed. Stuff salmon with as much parsley and dill as will fit in cavity and place fish on scallions. Cover and bring liquid to boil; reduce heat immediately and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant read thermometer inserted into back of fish, parallel to backbone, reads 125 degrees.
  • Take fish out of poacher and remove skin with fingers; it comes off easily while salmon is warm. Place salmon on warmed serving platter and keep warm.
  • Pour cooking liquid into small saucepan. Add vodka and bring to boil; reduce to 1/2 cup. Whisk in butter, little by little, until mixture thickens a little.
  • Arrange cooked asparagus around salmon and bring whole to the table. To serve, remove head and tail. Cut lengthwise near backbone; remove bone. Cut into portions and serve with sauce.

This dish was a disappointment. The salmon was overcooked and dry, and the sauce was bland and lacked flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. The salmon was cooked well, but the sauce was a bit too thin. Overall, it was an okay dish, but not something I would make again.
