Provided by Rick and Katie Toogood

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 13

300ml cider vinegar
300g caster sugar
340g fresh cranberries
½ tsp whole cloves
½ tsp juniper berries
75g panko breadcrumbs
½ tbsp dried thyme
2 tbsp sumac
1 lemon , zested
5 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for drizzling
1kg salmon fillet, pin-boned (you can ask your fishmonger to do this for you)
60g pistachios , crushed
½ small bunch of parsley , chopped, to serve

Steps:

  • Make the pickled cranberries a week or two ahead. Put the vinegar and sugar in a pan over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Stir in the remaining ingredients and continue to boil for 4 mins. Pour the mixture into a 1-litre sterilised jar, or two smaller ones, and seal well, then leave to cool. Chill in the fridge for at least a week.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toast the breadcrumbs in a dry frying pan for 2-3 mins until golden and toasted, then tip onto a plate and leave to cool.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, thyme, sumac, lemon zest and some seasoning in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the 5 tbsp olive oil and mix in thoroughly.
  • Lay a piece of baking parchment on a baking tray large enough to fit the salmon fillet. Put the salmon fillet skin-side down on top, and carefully spread the crust mixture over the top of the salmon. Don't press the mixture down too much. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
  • Bake the salmon for 20-25 mins ideally until it is just cooked and the crust has turned a golden colour. Once cooked, transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the pistachios, some drained pickled cranberries and the parsley. Try serving with buttered greens and roast new potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Use a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet for the best results. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a vibrant orange-pink color.
  • Poach the salmon gently: Poaching is a gentle cooking method that helps to preserve the delicate flavor and texture of the salmon. Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer before adding the salmon, and then reduce the heat to low. Avoid boiling the salmon, as this will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a flavorful poaching liquid: The poaching liquid is an important part of the recipe, as it infuses the salmon with flavor. Use a combination of water, white wine, vinegar, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful poaching liquid.
  • Pickle the salmon: Pickling the salmon helps to preserve it and adds a delicious tangy flavor. Use a combination of vinegar, sugar, water, and spices to create the pickling liquid. Allow the salmon to pickle for at least 24 hours before serving.
  • Serve the salmon chilled: Pickled poached salmon is best served chilled. It can be served as an appetizer, main course, or salad.

Conclusion:

Pickled poached salmon is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance. The combination of the delicate flavor of the salmon, the tangy pickling liquid, and the flavorful poaching liquid creates a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
