Steps:
- Place salmon steaks in a large skillet with water, salt and vinegar [the water should come 1/2 up the side of the salmon].
- Turn on heat and keep just under a boil for 10 minutes.
- Turn steaks and cook, simmering, for another 10 minutes.
- Remove steaks and take off skin and remove bones on the inside.
- Add dill, chopped scallions, lemon juice and peanut oil to water.
- Cook on medium heat until reduced to a sauce - 5-10 minutes.
- Place salmon steak on plate.
- Mold cooked rice in a 1/2 cup measuring cup and unmold on plate.
- Top rice with spinach.
- Pour sauce over spinach.
- And serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon if possible, as it is generally considered to be higher quality and more sustainable. If you are using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Use a large enough pan: The salmon should be able to fit in the pan without being crowded. If the salmon is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
- Season the salmon: Before cooking, season the salmon with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will help to flavor the fish.
- Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer before adding the salmon: This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking.
- Cook the salmon until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Generally, it will take about 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness.
- Remove the salmon from the poaching liquid and let it rest before serving: This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking.
Conclusion:
Poaching salmon is a simple and healthy way to cook this delicious fish. By following these tips, you can easily poach salmon that is tender, flaky, and flavorful. Serve poached salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
