Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 8 ounce salmon fillets (center cut), preferably Wild King salmon
1 cup dry white wine
Flaky sea salt, preferred brand Maldon
4 ounces fresh morel mushrooms, or dried morels soaked in hot water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups shelled English peas, or frozen peas
Freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch of chives, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Chive blossoms, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • In a wide, deep pot or Dutch oven, add water to the depth of a couple of inches and bring to a gentle simmer.If you are cutting portions from a whole salmon fillet, cut two large pieces from the center of the fillet. To the poaching water, add the wine and a generous pinch of salt. Gently lower the fish, skin side down, into the poaching liquid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently poach the fish until it is just cooked through or barely opaque in the center, 8 to 12 minutes.
  • While the salmon is poaching, prepare the rest of the ingredients for the sauce. Cut the morels in half or quarters, depending on the size of the mushrooms. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the morels. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the peas and toss to coat in the butter mixture. Add 1/2 cup of the salmon poaching liquid, and simmer until the peas begin to soften and the liquid evaporates, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • While the sauce is cooking, finely chop the chives and pick the chive blossoms for the garnishing of the dish.Add the cream and gently simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Check the doneness of the salmon by gently inserting a paring knife into the thickest part of the fillet. If the knife blade is slightly warm to the touch, remove the fillets from the poaching liquid with a fish spatula.Carefully peel off and discard the skin.
  • Serve the salmon with the peas and cream spooned on top. Garnish with sea salt, chives, and chive blossoms, if you like.

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.

ROASTED SALMON WITH PEAS AND RADISHES



Roasted Salmon With Peas and Radishes image

Salmon and sweet peas are the perfect pairing for a quick and satisfying supper. The salmon is roasted skin-side up, to protect the delicate flesh and keep the fish moist. Peppery radishes mellow during cooking, turning slightly sweet and juicy as they soften. Browned butter, mustard and capers coat the peas and radishes in a tangy sauce, and white miso provides depth. If there's no miso to be found, just leave it out or sub with a splash of soy sauce.

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon or trout fillets
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 bunches radishes with greens (about 1 pound), radishes halved, 1 cup leaves reserved (or 1 pound diced zucchini, or two 14-ounce cans whole artichokes, drained and halved)
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas (no need to thaw)
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon white miso
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped dill or parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, coat salmon with 2 tablespoons oil, season lightly with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque throughout and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter in remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add halved radishes (not leaves), season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and slightly softened, about 8 minutes. (If using zucchini, you can reduce the cook time to about 5 minutes; if using artichokes, you'll only need to cook about 3 minutes.) Add 1 cup water, the peas, capers, miso and mustard, and cook, stirring to dissolve the miso and mustard, until peas are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and simmer until a light sauce forms, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in radish leaves and dill.
  • Divide vegetables among plates or shallow bowls and top with salmon. Spoon pan sauce on top and serve warm.

SALMON AND SNOW PEA STIR FRY



Salmon and Snow Pea Stir Fry image

You wouldn't expect to find salmon in a stir-fry. But when you're tired of the same old chicken or shrimp, try this high-protein, heart-healthy entree from Oxygen Magazine. The salmon really soaks up a nice orange flavor; pineapple or another juice might be tasty too!

Provided by FLKeysJen

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces skinless salmon fillet (wild is healthier than farm-raised)
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
nonstick cooking spray or peanut oil
1 small onion, halved and sliced
6 ounces snow peas

Steps:

  • Cut salmon into 1 1/2 inch cubes and place in a resealable plastic bag.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, juice, garlic and sesame oil; pour half the marinade into the plastic bag with salmon.
  • Marinate the fish for 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Coat a nonstick frying pan or wok with nonstick spray.
  • Remove salmon from bag; discard leftover marinade.
  • Stir-fry salmon over medium-high heat, about five minutes. Turn salmon over gently so that all sides cook evenly. Be very careful with the salmon pieces so they stay intact - this was the hardest part for me; I didn't realize I'm quite the aggressive mad-woman stir-fryer!
  • Remove salmon from wok and add sliced onion. Stir-fry onion until brown, about five minutes. Add snow peas and stir-fry until they turn bright green, about three minutes.
  • Return salmon to pan and pour reserved marinade over fish and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
  • Serve with 1/2 cup of brown rice for each plate, if desired.

Tips:

  • To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, use a wide skillet or pan that can accommodate the salmon fillet in a single layer.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan with the snow peas, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming tender.
  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute it with chicken broth or water.
  • Taste the poaching liquid before adding salt, as the soy sauce and lemon juice may already provide enough flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it can easily become dry and tough. The ideal internal temperature for cooked salmon is 145°F (63°C).
  • Serve the poached salmon immediately with the snow peas, lemon wedges, and soy sauce for dipping.
  • Conclusion:

    This poached salmon with snow peas recipe is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked gently in a flavorful poaching liquid, resulting in a moist and flaky fish that pairs perfectly with the tender snow peas. The lemon wedges and soy sauce add a bright and tangy flavor to the dish, making it a refreshing and satisfying meal. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this poached salmon with snow peas recipe a try.
