Categories     Fish     Poach     Healthy

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2-3 slices of slab bacon cut into 1/4" bits
1 tbsp. butter
1 scallion (red onion is bolder)
4 oz. ommegang wheat beer
8 oz. wild sockeye salmon filet.
liberal toss of sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. bring bacon, butter and scallion to temp at medium high in a sauté pan just browning the bacon before adding the butter. so long as the bacon is lean, it will leave some nice residue in the pan, the beer will deglaze this residue, that is a good thing... 2. Add the beer and allow it to just boil before reducing the heat to a strong simmer. 3.add the salmon (skin side down) to the just under boil beer-y goodness. toss some sea salt on there and cover the pan. after three minutes, the fish should just begin to firm, flip it so that it's skin up. three more minutes. pull the cover off. enjoy the fragrant steam. let the liquid reduce a spell, if you like your fish on the med-rare side, pull it and cover it lightly and set aside while you reduce. 4. reduce the liquid to about half it's volume. 5. pour that goodness on the fish. 6. eat like a champ.

Tips:

  • To ensure the salmon remains moist and flavorful, it's crucial to poach it gently over low heat. Avoid boiling, as this can cause the fish to become tough and dry.
  • By using a flavorful poaching liquid, you can infuse the salmon with a variety of aromas and flavors. Experiment with different combinations of herbs, spices, vegetables, and liquids to create unique and delicious dishes.
  • To achieve a perfectly cooked salmon, insert a kitchen thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. It should read 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium, or 135°F (57°C) for well-done.
  • After poaching, allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and succulent texture.
  • Serve the poached salmon with various accompaniments to enhance its flavor. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or a tangy sauce.
