OLIVE OIL-POACHED SALMON



Olive Oil-Poached Salmon image

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 sprigs fresh thyme
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
About 3 cups olive oil, more to cover fish
2 pounds salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces, at room temperature
2 lemons, one cut into wedges for garnish
Salt
black pepper to taste
Minced parsley, chives or another fresh herb, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine thyme, rosemary, garlic and oil in a pot just wide enough to hold fish in a single layer without touching. (When fish is added, oil should cover it, so it is better to use more oil than not enough.) Peel 1 lemon, using a vegetable peeler to remove yellow part only, in strips. Add peel to oil. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Fit skillet with a deep-frying thermometer and heat oil to 180 degrees over medium-low heat. Reduce heat and monitor temperature, adjusting until temperature is a stable 180, with small bubbles occasionally rising to surface.
  • When temperature is stable, add fish. Oil temperature will drop, so raise heat slightly (never above medium-low) just until it reaches 180 again; then reduce.
  • Cook fish 13 to 15 minutes, until top is completely opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels, let drain. Place on serving platter, sprinkle with herbs, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

SALMON FILLETS POACHED IN OLIVE OIL



Salmon Fillets Poached in Olive Oil image

Olive-oil poached salmon are served over lemony pea stew with pistachios, and a celery-root puree.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 garlic clove
4 center-cut salmon fillets (3 ounces and 1 1/2 inches thick each), skinned
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
Pea Stew with Pistachios and Lemon Confit
Fleur de sel (or other coarse salt)
Coarsely chopped shelled unsalted pistachios, for garnish
Lemon Confit for Pea Stew (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in an 8-quart heavy-bottomed pot over low heat until it registers 140 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Add thyme and garlic to oil.
  • Season fillets with salt and pepper. Carefully add to oil; cook 5 minutes. (Adjust heat as necessary to keep oil temperature at 140 degrees.) Flip; cook 5 minutes (for rare) or 7 minutes (for medium-rare). Transfer to paper towels; pat dry.
  • Divide pea stew among bowls; place 1 fillet in center of each. Season with fleur de sel (or other coarse salt). Garnish with nuts, and with lemon confit if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a fishy odor.
  • Use high-quality olive oil. The olive oil you use will greatly impact the flavor of the dish, so choose a good-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season the salmon fillets generously. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as this will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Poach the salmon fillets gently. The key to perfectly poached salmon is to cook it gently over low heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the salmon fillets hot or cold. Poached salmon can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference. If you're serving it hot, you can top it with a simple lemon butter sauce or a fresh herb salsa. If you're serving it cold, you can chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight and then serve it with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Poached salmon is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. It's a great option for a light lunch or dinner, and it can be easily paired with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad. With its delicate flavor and simple preparation, poached salmon is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
