Categories     Fish     Herb     Mustard     Poach     Wedding     Dinner     Seafood     Salmon     Shower     Tarragon     Dill     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For fish
1 (6- to 6 1/2-lb) whole sockeye salmon (preferably wild), cleaned, discarding head but leaving tail intact
1 large onion (3/4 pound), sliced
4 Turkish or 2 California bay leaves
6 whole black peppercorns
2 whole allspice
3/4 cup table salt
For sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain or coarse-grain mustard
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
Special Equipment
a 10-quart pot with a lid

Steps:

  • Make fish:
  • Working from head end to tail end, cut fish crosswise into 3-inch sections (very thick steaks; about 4), tapping back of knife with a mallet when you reach center bone to help cut through it. Discard tail if there is no flesh attached. Otherwise, set aside with steaks to cook.
  • Bring 8 quarts water to a boil with onion, bay leaves, peppercorns, and allspice in pot, then stir in salt. Add salmon and cover pot with lid, then turn off heat. Let stand, undisturbed, until fish just separates from bones, about 18 minutes. Transfer salmon to a shallow pan with a slotted spoon and let stand just until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Fish should be neither too warm (it may break) or too cool (it will start to congeal, making it more difficult to remove bones cleanly) when handled.
  • With your hands, carefully remove flesh from each steak in pieces as large as possible, discarding skin and bones and arranging salmon on a platter.
  • Make Sauce while fish stands:
  • Stir together all sauce ingredients.
  • Serve salmon at room temperature with sauce on the side.

COLD POACHED SALMON WITH DILL MUSTARD SAUCE



Cold Poached Salmon With Dill Mustard Sauce image

The centerpiece of a summer solstice menu created in 2005 for The Times, this dish alludes to gravlax - the Scandinavian dish of cured salmon - with the spices used to poach the salmon and the sweet mustard sauce. The cooking technique here yields the most tender flesh you may ever encounter with salmon.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small bunch fresh dill
1 whole salmon (wild, if possible), about 6 pounds, cleaned and scaled (or substitute a center-cut section of a larger salmon)
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 onion, peeled and quartered
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons chopped dill
1/2 teaspoon salt, or as needed
1 generous bunch dill
2 lemons, cut into wedges

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.

POACHED SALMON WITH A MUSTARD-DILL SAUCE



Poached Salmon With a Mustard-Dill Sauce image

Here is a light delicious salmon recipe, I made this dish last night as hot salmon and sauce. But it is a very versatile dish and in summer can be served chilled, both the salmon and the sauce. If chilling the salmon, I recommend leaving the fish in the poaching liquid, in the fridge for a few hours, to really allow the flavours to infuse the salmon. I served mine with wild rice and minted vegetables, but it goes well over linguine with a green salad on the side.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 salmon fillets
3 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 sprigs fresh dill
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
12 black peppercorns
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In a large pan, add water, wine, lemon juice, mustard seeds, peppercorns, bay leaves and dill, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the fish and return to a simmer, cover and continue to simmer until fish is cooked and flakes easily, approximately 8 minutes.
  • For the Sauce: In a pan combine mustard, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire, dill and sour cream, stir over medium heat until hot, when fish is cooked add the 3 tablespoons of liquid from poached fish. Heat through and serve over fish.
  • To serve: Place fish on plate and top with sauce, garnish with dill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep orange color.
  • Poach the salmon gently. Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer and then add the salmon. Cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until it is cooked through but still moist.
  • Make sure the mustard sauce is smooth. Whisk the mustard, mayonnaise, and sour cream together until there are no lumps.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. The salmon is best served hot, with the mustard sauce spooned over the top.

Conclusion:

This poached salmon with mustard sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked gently in a flavorful poaching liquid, and the mustard sauce adds a tangy and creamy flavor. Serve the salmon with roasted vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
