Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3- to 4-pound) skinless salmon filet, bones removed
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 shallots, halved and sliced
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and chopped
1 leek, trimmed and chopped
1 tablespoon pink peppercorns
1 cup white wine, such as pinot blanc
Cucumber and Onion Salad, for serving
Honey Mustard Mayonnaise, for serving
Rye bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Place salmon, carrots, celery, shallots, fennel, leek, peppercorns, and wine in a fish poacher or large roasting pan and add enough water to cover. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer; cook until salmon is firm to the touch and some of the fat begins to come to the surface of the fish, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and let fish cool in liquid. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Remove fish from pan and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with cucumber salad, honey mustard mayonnaise, and rye bread.

I found the salmon to be a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.
