Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
3/4 teaspoon anchovy paste or mashed anchovy fillet
1 onion, sliced
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon salt
two 1-inch-thick salmon steaks (each about 1/2 pound)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine well the butter, the parsley, the anchovy paste, and freshly ground black pepper to taste and reserve the anchovy butter, covered. In a saucepan combine the onion, the vinegar, the sugar, the peppercorns, the coriander seeds, the mustard seeds, the salt, and 4 cups water, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer if for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a deep heavy skillet just large enough to hold the salmon in one layer. Add the salmon, bring the liquid to a simmer, and poach the salmon, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it just flakes. Transfer the salmon steaks with a slotted spatula to plates, letting the poaching liquid drain off, and divide the reserved anchovy butter between them.

This recipe is a bit pricey, but it's worth the splurge. The salmon is of excellent quality, and the anchovy butter is divine.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste. I think I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the anchovy butter was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less anchovies.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salmon turned out dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
