Recipe

Poached Salmon

Ingredients

  • 4 8-oz sockeye or coho salmon portionsShop
  • 2 lemons, one sliced for poaching and the other quartered for squeezing on top
  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 3 to 4 sprigs tender fresh herbs (dill, parsley, cilantro, tarragon, etc)
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ½ cup water
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Simmer the lemon, shallot, herbs, wine, and water in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Place the salmon skin side down in the pan, season with salt and pepper and cover. Poach for 5 minutes or so. You still want the center to be red and only just starting to flake. About 120 degrees if you're using a meat thermometer.
  3. Remove salmon from the pan, garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon.
