POACHED SALMON WITH CUCUMBER SAUCE



Poached Salmon with Cucumber Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound cucumber, peeled and seeded
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, grated
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons snipped fresh dill, plus extra for garnish
Salt and pepper
4 6- to 8-ounces salmon fillets, 1/2-inch thick
1 quart water
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Grate cucumber and toss with vinegar and salt in a colander. Set aside for 30 minutes to drain. With your hands squeeze juices from cucumber. Combine cucumber in a mixing bowl with remaining sauce ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Skin salmon fillets and remove bones. Fill a wide saucepan with water, about 3 inches deep. For one quart of water, add 2 teaspoons salt and 3 tablespoons vinegar; adjust proportions accordingly for more or less water. Bring to a boil. Carefully add salmon to pan and adjust heat until water is just below simmering -- it should shiver, and not quite bubble. Cook until fish has turned from translucent to opaque and feels springy to touch, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove salmon with a spatula and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to serving platter, garnish with sauce and decorate with dill sprigs.

POACHED SALMON



Poached Salmon image

Poached salmon is delicate, moist, and cooks in minutes. Perfect for dinner parties and fast weeknight dinners.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 (6-ounce) center cut salmon fillets (skin on)
water
12 sprigs fresh dill (plus additional chopped dill for serving)
6 whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
Cracked black pepper (lemon wedges (for serving))

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.

FOIL-POACHED SALMON WITH DILL & AVOCADO MAYO



Foil-poached salmon with dill & avocado mayo image

A whole poached salmon makes a buffet centrepiece with wow-factor - we've got ideas for using up the leftovers too

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ½kg whole salmon (ask your fishmonger to clean and gut it)
olive oil , for greasing
1 small onion , very thinly sliced
4 bay leaves
20g pack dill
6 tbsp dry white wine
3 ripe avocados , preferably Hass
200ml mayonnaise
zest and juice 1 large lemon
½ cucumber , peeled, deseeded and diced
bunch watercress , lemon wedges, thick cucumber slices, fresh dill (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Put the salmon on a large sheet of oiled extra-wide foil (this will stop it from sticking later). Put the onion, bay leaves and half the dill in the body cavity, spoon over the wine, season with salt and black pepper, then loosely bring the foil round the salmon and seal well to make a parcel. Lift onto a baking tray, then bake for 2 hrs. Take from the oven, then leave to cool for about 10 mins, still in its parcel.
  • Meanwhile, whizz the flesh from the avocados (with a hand blender or in a food processor) with the mayo, lemon juice, zest and seasoning. Tip into a bowl. Chop the remaining dill, stir in with the cucumber, then transfer to a serving bowl. Chill for up to 3 hrs.
  • Unwrap the salmon, then strip away the skin and fins. Personally, I don't take the skin from the bottom of the fish if I am serving the salmon warm, as you risk breaking the fish up as you turn it over. It is more robust when it is cold, so in this case remove the skin from both sides. You can leave the head on or take off at this stage. Carefully lift onto a platter, then garnish with watercress, cucumber, lemon wedges and dill, if using.
  • To serve, remove the fish in chunky fillets. When all the fish has gone from the top fillet, remove the onion and herb flavouring, pull away the bones, then remove portions of the bottom fillet, leaving the skin behind. Eat with the avocado mayo, warm buttery new potatoes, and salads or green beans.

Tips:

  • To ensure the salmon is perfectly cooked, insert a fork or knife into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily, it's done. If not, continue poaching for a few more minutes.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can place the salmon in a colander set over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the salmon for the same amount of time.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, use ripe avocados. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Serve the poached salmon immediately with the avocado sauce. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley.

Conclusion:

Poached salmon with avocado sauce is a light and healthy dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and packed with flavor. The salmon is cooked gently in a flavorful poaching liquid, and the avocado sauce adds a creamy and tangy touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
