Moist Poached Salmon Food

EASY POACHED SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Ensure all bones are removed from the salmon. The salmon can be poached with the skin on or with the skin removed, but keep in mind-the salmon will hold together much better if the skin remains intact.
• In a large sauté pan, bring water, salt, wine, onion, dill and parsley to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Once the liquid has simmered for 15 minutes, reduce heat to low setting and wait for all of the bubbles to subside. At this point, you can remove the onions and herbs with a slotted spoon if desired.
• Gently lay the salmon, skin side down, in the pan. Keep the poaching liquid just below a simmer and poach the fish for 8-10 minutes.
• Test for desired doneness. Remove the fish from liquid with a slotted spatula then blot the bottom lightly with a paper towel. Serve the fish hot, warm or cold in a salad. Enjoy!

THE BEST BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

EASY POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• First make the poaching liquid for the fish. Put the peppercorns, 2 tsp salt, vinegar, fennel, bay leaves and parsley stalks in a saucepan with 2.5 litres of water, and bring to the boil. Boil for 10 mins so all the flavours infuse into the liquid.
• Make sure that you choose a roasting tin big enough to hold the salmon fillet. Strain the liquid into the empty tin, bring to the boil on the hob, then add the fish, skin-side down, making sure it is covered in liquid. Scatter around the lemon slices, and simmer gently for 1-2 mins until the fish changes colour completely. Cover the surface with a large piece of foil, turn off the heat and leave to cool completely. The fish will cook as the liquid cools.
• To make the salsa verde, put all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor, then blitz to make a bright, slightly chunky sauce. Season to taste.
• Carefully remove the salmon to a serving platter and peel away the skin if you like. Serve with the salsa verde, new potatoes and asparagus.
