Place strips on bottom and up sides of a 7-qt. oval slow cooker. Pour poaching liquid into slow cooker. Carefully add salmon., Cook, covered, on high 60-70 minutes or just until fish flakes easily with a fork (a thermometer inserted in fish should read at least 145°).

• Heat wine and water over medium high heat in a large non-stick skillet for 5 minutes.

• Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat to medium and poach until salmon flesh is firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.

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.

SALMON FISHCAKES

Steps:

• Half-fill a large saucepan with cold water and add a tiny pinch of salt.
• Place on a high heat and bring to the boil. Meanwhile...
• If using fresh peas, pod them into a bowl, then leave to one side.
• Use a Y-shaped peeler to peel the potatoes, then chop into 1cm chunks on a chopping board.
• Once the water is boiling, carefully add the potatoes, bring back to the boil, then turn the heat down to medium and simmer gently for around 10 minutes, or until cooked through, adding the peas for the last 2 minutes. Meanwhile...
• Finely chop the chives and add them to a mixing bowl.
• Drain the salmon in a sieve over the sink .
• Add the salmon to the bowl, using a fork to flake it into small chunks.
• Once cooked, drain the potatoes and peas in a colander over the sink then leave them to cool completely. Meanwhile...
• Use a microplane to finely grate the lemon zest, then add it to the bowl along with the flour.
• Crack in the egg and season with a tiny pinch of pepper.
• Once cool, tip the potatoes and peas back into the pan and use a potato masher to mash them really well.
• Add the mash to the bowl, then mix together until really well combined.
• Sprinkle a little flour over a clean work surface and onto a large plate.
• Divide the mixture into 8 and use your hands to pat and shape each ball into a fishcake, roughly 2cm thick.
• Place them onto the floured plate, dusting your hands and the top of each fish cake lightly with flour as you go.
• Place a large frying pan on a medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Carefully place the fishcakes into the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden, turning carefully with a fish slice.
• Cut the zested lemon into wedges.
• Serve the fishcakes with some seasonal green veg or a fresh green salad and lemon wedges for squeezing over.

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!

POACHED & SMOKED SALMON PâTé WITH BAGEL TOASTS

Steps:

• Grease and line a loaf or terrine tin (about 650g) with cling film - if you only have a standard 900g tin it will still be fine, just a bit flatter. Arrange the whole dill fronds and a few nice slivers of the smoked salmon on the bottom (this will be the top of the terrine so you want it to look quite neat).
• In a food processor, pulse half the cooked salmon fillets, half the remaining smoked salmon trimmings and the cream cheese with some seasoning. Don't overmix as you want it to have a bit of texture. Fold in half the dill, all the spring onions and the rest of the poached and smoked salmon so that you have some nice flakes of fish running through the pâté. Scrape into the tin, smooth the surface and chill for at least 2 hrs or up to 2 days in advance.
• To serve, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Arrange the bagel halves in a single layer on a baking tray and brush each one with some oil. Sprinkle on a little of the dill and some sea salt, then bake for about 10-12 mins, until crisp and light golden. (If the oven is full, these can be done earlier and served at room temp.) Turn the terrine tin upside down and use the cling film to remove it. Unwrap and serve on a platter with the bagel toasts.

EASY POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• In a small pan, arrange fillets in a single layer. Cover with water until fillets are just submerged. Remove fillets and set aside. Add garlic, carrot, herbs, peppercorns, and wine. Bring to a boil, season with salt, then turn off heat; add fillets skin-side down, and cook, covered, until slightly underdone in the center, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Reserve the poaching liquid and, once cool, combine with fillets.

POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• Fill a saute pan wide enough to hold the salmon in a single layer without overlapping the fillets and tall enough to cover the salmon with water about 1/4 of the way to the top. Add the vinegar, honey, and salt. Whisk to combine.
• Carefully lower the salmon fillets into the pan in a single layer. Add more water so that they are just barely covered.
• Scatter the dill, peppercorns, and bay leaf over the top.
• Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Simmer the salmon, adjusting the heat as needed so that you maintain a steady simmer but not a rapid boil. Let cook 2 minutes.
• Check the temperature of the salmon using an instant read thermometer. It should be around 135 to 140 degrees F, no more (fish is considered cooked at 145 degrees F, but the temperature will continue to rise as it rests). If needed, cook it 1 to 2 minutes more. DO NOT overcook or your salmon will be dry.
• With a wide spatula, gently lift the poached salmon out of the water and place it on a plate (discard the poaching liquid). Cover and let rest 4 minutes. Enjoy hot, sprinkled with additional chopped dill, cracked black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon as desired.

POACHED SALMON WITH LEEKS

Steps:

• Trim the roots and leaves from the leeks, leaving the soft white stem. Chop the stem into sections and place in a colander over the sink, or in a bowl of water. Rinse the leeks very thoroughly, these are notoriously grainy vegetables and you don't want the dirt to end up in your food, and pat dry. In a straight edge sauté pan with a lid over medium heat add the butter and allow to melt. Then add the leeks and sauté until tender. About 8 minutes.
• Once the leeks are tender pour in the chicken broth until it just covers the leeks. If you need a little more broth than the 2 cups called for, add a little more bit by bit. Then, add the salmon steaks on top, making sure they are separated a little. If there is skin on the salmon, place the skin side up so that the fish is resting directly on the leeks.
• Turn up the heat so that the broth is simmering. Place the lid on the pan and cook the salmon for 8 minutes. After that, check to make sure the steaks are cooked through. If not, continue cooking for 1-2 more minutes.
• Divide the leeks between two plates. Serve one salmon steak on top of each bed of leeks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the stock, wine, thyme, garlic, shallot and lemon zest in a wide, deep pan and bring to a simmer. Add the salmon, a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Partially cover and simmer until the salmon is fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Serve with an arugula salad, lemon slices and olive oil drizzled on top.
