Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (6-8-ounce) center-cut wild salmon fillets (each about 1 1/2" thick)
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons kosher salt plus more for seasoning
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces fresh morels; sliced, stemmed shiitake; or other mushrooms
1/2 cup shelled fresh (or frozen, thawed) peas
1/2 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives or 2 pea tendrils

Steps:

  • Place salmon, skin side down, in a large high-sided skillet. Add wine, 2 tablespoons salt, and cold water to cover salmon by 1/2". Cover pan; bring liquid to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, uncover, and gently poach salmon until just cooked through and barely opaque in the center, about 6 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer salmon and 2 tablespoons poaching liquid to a plate; tent loosely with foil.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup salmon poaching liquid and peas and simmer until peas begin to soften, 2-3 minutes. Add cream and bring sauce to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Using a spatula, transfer salmon, skin side up, to paper towels. Gently peel off and discard skin. Invert onto serving plates and spoon sauce over. Garnish with chives.

I'm not a big fan of salmon, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The sauce was so flavorful and the salmon was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra herbs and spices to the sauce and it was much better.

I didn't have any morels on hand, so I used mushrooms instead. The sauce was still delicious, but I think the morels would have added a nice earthy flavor.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make several substitutions and the end result wasn't as good as I had hoped.

This poached wild salmon was a delight! The salmon was cooked perfectly, tender and flaky, and the combination of peas and morels was delicious. I especially loved the creamy sauce, which was the perfect complement to the salmon.
