Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (1 cup)
2 tablespoons drained capers, if desired
4 scallions, trimmed and chopped ( 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup chopped onion, washed in a sieve under cool water and drained
3 large cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped (2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cups water
6 salmon fillet steaks, with all bones, sinews and skin removed (5 ounces each when cleaned), each 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients except water and salmon in a small bowl and set aside at room temperature.
  • When ready to cook the salmon, bring the water to a boil in a stainless steel saucepan. Place the salmon steaks in the pan and bring the water back to a boil over high heat. (This will take about 2 minutes.) Immediately turn off the heat or slide the pan off the heat if using an electric stove, and let the salmon steep in the hot liquid for 5 minutes. (The steaks will be slightly underdone in the center; adjust the cooking time to accommodate thicker or thinner steaks and to satisfy taste preferences.)
  • Remove the steaks from the liquid with a large spatula or skimmer, drain well, and place a steak on each of six warm plates. Sponge up any liquid that collects around the steaks on the plates with paper towels and spoon the sauce over and around the steaks. Serve immediately.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up overcooking the salmon.

I'm not a big fan of poached salmon, but this recipe changed my mind. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

This was the most delicious salmon I've ever had! The ravigote sauce was the perfect complement.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The salmon is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. I like to serve it with roasted vegetables.

Not a fan of the ravigote sauce. It was too acidic for my taste.

This dish was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. The salmon was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and creamy. I will definitely make this again.

This was my first time poaching salmon, and it turned out perfectly! The flesh was tender and flaky, and the skin was crispy. The ravigote sauce was also delicious. I used a combination of parsley, tarragon, and chives, and it was the perfect complem
