SALMON WITH CREAMY DILL SAUCE

Steps:
- To poach salmon, begin by placing the small bunch of dill inside cavity of the salmon, and put salmon in a fish poacher or a large roasting pan. (If necessary remove head to fit salmon in pan.) Cover with water, and add salt, sugar, mustard seeds, peppercorns and onion. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn salmon over, and cook 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and let salmon cool in water for about an hour.
- To make sauce, whisk together the mustard and brown sugar in a small pitcher. Add sour cream and vinegar, and whisk until smooth. Mix in the chopped dill, and season with salt. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.
- To serve, remove salmon from poaching liquid and lay on large sheet of parchment or waxed paper. Remove skin from top, gently peeling it away, along with fins. Carefully lift top layer of salmon in one long fillet, removing it from backbone and transferring it to a large platter.
- Lift backbone off fish in one piece, and pick out any other visible bones. Turn fish over, and remove skin as before. Then place second fillet alongside the first on platter. Arrange leafy sprigs of dill between fillets, and drizzle sauce on top. Scatter lemon wedges around edges of plate. Pass pitcher of sauce separately.
SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL
This is a wonderful (and easy) recipe I got from my Aunt. The flavors of lemon and dill really complement the fish. I like to use wild Alaskan salmon for this recipe, but any salmon will work. I usually don't measure, so these are all estimates. Play with the ingredients to suit your own tastes!

Tips:
- Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for a fresh, skin-on salmon fillet with vibrant color and a mild, briny aroma. Avoid fillets with a slimy texture or an overly fishy smell.
- Prepare the Salmon Properly: Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispy skin and even cooking. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper, enhancing its natural flavors.
- Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the preferred choice for poaching salmon, as it imparts a delicate, fruity flavor to the dish. Ensure the oil is fresh and of good quality.
- Control the Poaching Temperature: Maintain a gentle simmer throughout the poaching process to achieve perfectly cooked salmon. Avoid boiling the water, as this can result in overcooked and dry fish.
- Monitor the Cooking Time: The cooking time for salmon depends on its thickness. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
- Make a Flavorful Dill Sauce: Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a creamy and tangy dill sauce that complements the delicate flavor of the salmon.
